I posted a note earlier today that asked if anyone knew how to get a
window wider or higher than the size of a macII screen.  A letter from an
Apple emplyee told me to hold the option key down. With my neighbor's MacWrite
5.0(CLARIS = Apple...) this failed.  It failed in Word3.02, and some other
stuff, INCLUDING THE FINDER.  My problem must have a simple solution.  Otherwise,
two monitors is an option that achieves little of its potential.  I just want
to set one monitor bellow the other with the monitor cdev and get a really big
window for test work.  Now the second monitor is to the right of the main
monitor.

I did try each of the non-letter key with window resizing, and all the
permutations of option, control, escape, and so forth failed too.
Please send me email to the header address above if you know of a solution.
This is my second posting ever, and I generally never get flustered
with my Mac.

Thanks in advance.

My system is:
System software 6.0.2
MacII 2/40
Apple 256 color- the main, menued screen
Apple 16 gray
IWII
Appletalked to appleshare hosts...mainframes.etc.



Inits were checked, to no avail.  Is this a system bug? ( or do I want to much?)
