Hi Graham,

The 'queryRegistry' function will figure that one out
for itself ; so try :
  put "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control
Panel/Desktop/WindowMetrics/CaptionHeight" into
tRegKey
  put queryRegistry(tRegKey) into tCaptionHeight
  put abs(tCaptionHeight DIV 15) + 5 into
tWindowTitleHeight

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
