Detecting height of dock and taskbar

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Sarah,

Nuance! On windows, it "may" give you the height of the task bar... 

If you change the taskbar, rev doesn't notice... Rev doesn't know if it is 
up or down either...

Note this is the same with anything you change in windows (selection or 
window colors) when 
you use rev, you have to quit rev and restart it for it to notice... ;(
