I'm glad you mentioned that.

Resizable windows have been such a staple in software for so long, and 
so well supported in MetaCard, SuperCard, Toolbook, Gain, and most other 
GUI scripting tools, I've just taken for granted that anyone who's been 
in the biz for a while has written plenty of resizeStack handlers.

But I've been learning recently that's not the case. A lot of very 
experienced scripters have worked with dialogs, palettes, fixed-sized 
windows, and all manner of menus, but somehow have never been asked to 
make an app with resizable windows.

If I ever get around to writing an article on resizing strategies I'll 
keep that in mind.  Helpful to learn about one more xTalk veteran in the 
same boat.
