you need a "resizestack" handler in your stack, since that message will
be sent to your current card (and stack) if the user does these kind of 
things,
resizing the stack manually or clicking the "maximize" button in the 
window
title bar...

Like (very simple! :-):

on resizestack
    lock screen
    set the width of fld "my field" to the width of this cd
    ## set the width

   set the left of fld "my field" to the left of this cd
   ## adjust the field...
end resizestack

will make taht field as wide as the stack is :-)
You get the picture...

In the inspector UNcheck "dontwrap" for that field.

Hope that helps...
