I accept that we should be able to do this under program control, but
I'm curious about why you want to. This is the kind of thing that
should be under the user's control under almost all circumstances.
Personally I find it extremely annoying when software resizes windows
automatically, and I believe it's generally frowned upon in UI design
circles.

Bob
