Need Help with Geometry

[Gregory Lypny]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for responding.  Yes (I think --- that's a whole lotta numbers you've got down there!), the top-left corner of the topmost field should remain fixed.  As the stack window is enlarged, the topmost field should grow proportionately downwards and to the right.  The field below should do the same, but because it is below, it's position must be shifted downwards to keep, as in your example, ten pixels between the fields, because the field above it is growing downwards.

Regards,

Gregory
