Re: Screen window position with Tame

November 6, 2007

Hi Michael:

I'm still using TAME version 4.5. All I did was install TAME and ignore 
it. There is nothing in my Autoexec.bat or Config.sys files.  TAME has 
added itself to autoexec.nt.  It runs when I open DP - it probably slows 
the opening by half a second, and I have no problems.  When I click that 
top left icon, the upper part of the menu is as you report. Then I get a 
lower part, Close, edit, defaults, properties, hide mouse pointer.  That 
properties choice lets me choose a clear crisp font & size for DP, get 
the maximum possible use of my screen for a full view of DP in a window, 
position the DP window, etc.
