Although I haven't tried it, I daresay that if the outline is a thin application window to the left and another above the icon you mention, it might be possible to click on this and to drag the outline horizontally or vertically (instead of diagonally). Additionally, if a different pointer (e.g. small double arrow) is defined for these thin windows the pointer could change as it moves into these windows.
The problem with this is that you are confined to the current PE outline which is the current size of its main window. So you can print an outline which can be altered but not made bigger than the current window. This means that you can reduce the size of window by this means but cannot increase it. My solution is to use another program altogether to draw the outline which can be made as large as the whole screen.
Anyone who has used the QL version of EMACS will recognise that QMENU is called as a separate program and so that its window can exceed that of EMACS. This is in contrast to QD which calls QMENU as a subroutine so that its window must lie within QD's.
