maximizing the stack/card

[Jon]

I agree with what Alex has written. 

The ONLY point I was trying to make is that programs created with Rev do 
not behave as do all other Windows programs.  The deviation in behavior 
is in some sense minor, but I see no reason why it has to deviate at 
all.  And explaining to a user why my software does not work like other 
Windows software just seems to be a waste of everyone's time.

I thought I said I would shut up.  Sigh.  I'll try to do it now!
