Window Sizes on Different Macs

[Gregory Lypny]

Thanks for responding, Jacqueline, Mark, and Scott.

I think Scott has the answer.  When I check the windowBoundingRect  
property, I get "0,74,1920,1136,"which puts the height of the stack  
at 1,062, and exceeds the height of the iMac display.  I've never had  
occasion to set the windowBoundingRect, but apparently it is padded  
on the Mac OS to allow for the menu bar, although I'm not sure what  
menu bar is being referred to.  Is it the Mac OS Finder menu bar, or  
is it a menu bar that the Revolution developer may, at some time,  
create for the stack?
