It was actually a useful property, since the windowing system ran on a character-based terminal, so the window borders had to be drawn with real characters, and they took up precious real estate. Sliding the windows so the edges were outside the screen boundary recovered part of that real estate. Anyone know how old Solbourn's windowing system is? --- Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs fitz@wang.com 1-508-967-5278 Lowell MA, USA ...!uunet!wang!fitz
