That's strange.  I don't believe I tried moving or resizing the
window, but I know I tried changing the window/screen titles, and that
worked well enough.  Unfortunately, I just moved, and I don't
currently have much spare time, and I also don't have an Amiga
available for experimentation, so I can't offer a solution.

Knot> Here's an excerpt from my program:

Knot>       struct Window *console;

Knot>       console = FindWindow();
Knot>       SizeWindow( console, 10,10);

Knot> Any suggestions?

Is that out of the legal range for the window?  I shouldn't think it
would matter, but does it work with 100x100?  Maybe it's something
even more obvious, but I haven't done much Intuition programming, and
I don't have my RKMs with me or anything.  If you or someone else can
look into the problem further, maybe I could help, but right now, I
can't do much...

Sorry.

Deven

p.s. Any Amiga enthusiasts in the Cincinnati area?  send me Email or
something...
