Thanks to all who answered my original post, both the email responders and  
the Net repsonders.  

Most of the responses were programming related.  That's not a problem, but  
there is an real easy way to limit the small end of the window size:  See  
the Size inspector panel in IB, when inspecting the window you want to  
limit.  There's a Minimum size feature that you can either set to you own  
coords, or there's a button that sets the coords to the window's current  
size.  Very handy. 

So, at least half the answer was to be found in IB.  As it happens, that's  
the answer I was after.

Again, thanks to all the responders.

And now back to your original programming....
