Personally I like a BIG window... ;)

But I'm well aware that others might want it smaller. Right now I have
it using half the available screen width and 3/4 the height.

Do you think the idea of using a percentage of the screen is OK? If so,
what percentage do you like? Of if not, what sizes seem right to you?

This reminds me that I should make the setup function which sets the
window geometry accept percentages...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree that any reactions from others would be useful - my intention is
to go for a consensus on what is useful

Cheers,
Vern
