Thanks Richard,

Actually what I want is for there to be NO stack resizing on either 
platform. Seems like a pretty easy request, but I can't figure out how 
to make it happen. I can reset the stack to the correct height on the 
Mac, but doing so still doesn't move everthing down so that it is visible.

It's a Main stack. Do you know in MC if setting the menubar property 
automatically resizes the stack? I'm wondering if this is a Rev only 
problem?

Also, I'm not using GM, using my own layout manager, which I can turn 
off and on. It's not interferring.
