In 7.5, the best thing is to determine the target resolution for each user.
The desired visual form size for each user depends on:
The user's screen resolution
The user's monitor size
The user's visual preference
So a person with a vision disability may have a 21 inch monitor set to
800x600 resolution to improve readability, but still want an RBase screen
form to be displayed at double its normal resolution because of its
complexity. In this case, regardless of how the form was designed, the user
may prefer to see only one half (the left or right) of the form fill the
entire screen. If the form was designed to be 800 pixels wide, then SCALEBY
'400' would only show the left half of the form initially.
