I don't think that will help. I think a lot of windows applications set
their starting window size based on a VGA screen or some other parameter
I'm not aware of. In many cases the size is inappropiate for what you
are doing. For instance, terminal often comes up to small for a 80x24
display.

What I do is use CMDPOST. You can use the WINPLACE function to specify
the size and position of an application window. Once you got the
application window the way you it, CMDPOST has this program that will
tell you how the placement information for the window and save a
WINPLACE command to the clipboard. You can then edit the CMDUSER file
so that when you start the application up it's window is always in
the size and location you prefer. The CMDPOST interface doesn't look
as snazzy as the Program Manager, but it tends to give you a lot more
options.
