Thanks for confirming it was Tame 5.0 and not me at fault with the DP
window positioning problem although my font type & size did seem to stick.

Sorry for coming in here late but I can confirm I had similar
experience with ver 5.0 as well, when it was 1st released - lots of
bells and whistles but I couldn't find a way to get window
positioning, font type & size, and lots of other goodies to stick
either, So I also went back to 4.5. As I can have up to 10 dps
running at one time I prefer to let the system position the window so
most are visible with a sort of cascade effect. Unfortunately Tame was
also unresponsive to any queries raised then - which must be a least a
couple of years ago now.
Ver 4.5 is working fine apart from one dos program that intermittently
loses the cursor (and for which I think tame is the culprit) but the
cursor problem has never been an issue with DP and we'd be totally
snookered without it.

Thanks Don,
I have downloaded and am now using version 4.5 too. It doesn't
have quite so many options as version 5 but I don't really need
anything fancy, it just works!

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.

Hi Don,
When I click the icon at the top left corner of the DP window,
"properties" is not a menu option. What I see, other than the
standard Windows DOS box options of Restore (greyed out), Move,
Size, Minimize & Maximize, are various Tame options of Edit,
View, Help, Tame Settings Files, Troubleshooting - all these
have sub menus but nowhere do I see anything about window
position. I think this is because I let Tame load at Windows
start-up rather than as part of a batch file to run my DP
application.
I will try the batch file approach and report back.
Thanks for your help,
Michael

Michael, since nobody else has offered a solution, let me try.
I do not use TAME at all for the purpose of positioning DP (I
do use TAME). To set the position (& fonts & window size), I
click the icon at the top left corner of the DP window, &
choose "properties" from the menu.
Window position & theoretical size is set in the layout tab. I
choose screen buffer size & layout size 80 x 25. That gives me
a maximum DP screen, so far as I can tell. (The actual size of
the window is set by adjusting the font on the font tab.)
Then I set the position in the Window position section - I
choose 0,0 for the top left corner of my screen, but you can
adjust it as you want it. Be sure that you have unchecked "Let
system position window".
Click OK, & then choose "Save properties for future windows
with the same title". That means it affects all DP databases,
& retains the settings you have used.
Click OK again & you have it.
Hope this works for you as well as it does for me.

Does anyone have a good knowledge please of Tame: I have Tame
5 running on a Windows XP Pro system and despite removing the
";*" from the line "AutoSaveSettings=on ; Save view settings
and use on next run" in "_ProcessStartup.init.tam", my DP
applications do not remember the position of their window
between sessions. What am I doing wrong please?
