Thanks guys! That was perfect. I only need the 1 script to shrink the window as the maximize button on the window itself will restore it to original position. You made my day! -steve

At 04:42p -0400 07/23/2006, Gregory Ramsperger didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:


tell application "BBEdit"
    activate
    set bounds of window 1 to {0, 0, 700, 600}
end tell

The numbers are {left, top, width, height}. This will set the
front-most window size (regardless of type--text, search results,
etc).

actually that's left, top, right, bottom.

You're correct. I was just thinking of it as always placing the top- left at 0,0.

I think the real issue is how best to save/restore two sets of bounds
for each document. Thus the script will start to get rather long. I
just started writing something, but since I have no use for it myself
I'm not inclined to spend the time to finish it. (Unless someone
wanted to pay me to do so...;)


I hadn't imagined going that far. I figured he just needed two scripts: one for when he was actually on the local machine (normal size) and one for when he was using VNC (smaller size). You just run one script or the other depending on where you are (like the browser scriptlet).
