Mark,
Thank you so much. That is nice and I will probably use it.
Now I ask. Why is such a simple thing relegated to a special
"Tools" subsystem? I would think it should be a primitive of
Views.

you may also want to consider the attached module ToolsViewOpener together with its documentation.

Folks,
I am still struggling to find a consistent use of Models.Context.
If I do Views.Open or any of the other opens with Views then then
context gets set for me (Document.Context, I believe).
But then the size of the open document is predefined to a default value
which I must then contravene with a Controllers handlers. What this looks
like is the document flashed large then gets reset to a small (my) value.
What I want is to be able to stipulate the size of the view BEFORE it is
opened (with one of Views open procedures).
How do I do that?
---
If I embed a view within a host view then I have control over the context of the
embedded view and I can indeed specify the embedded view's size before
it is first restored. That works. It is only in the case when I don't have control
over the context. OMI in their wisdom, does not allow one to replace the context
of a view once that view has a context (why not?);
