Hi John

  Ok. Have you tried Vince's suggestion?

 Thanks for reminding me, Mark. I tried that suggestion some time ago but
 was unable to draw any conclusion. However, I will give it a longer test
 now.

I have being trying that suggestion since your email and there does seem
to be an improvement. However, I am now using vv r12147 and note the SNV
comments, but also note that -v remains in the !Run file, which shows
Revision: 11204. Is that an anomaly or is that line inert, because there
seem to have been a further improvement with r12147?

It would; r12147 contained changes to the Windows frontend only.

 which shows Revision: 11204. Is that an anomaly or is that line inert, 

That is the last revision in which the !Run file changed.

If NS itself can't do that, you should be able to manage it by putting the
command to have NS display the page in an Obeyfile, followed perhaps by a
short delay, followed by a command to move and size the window as required.

The latter part can be done with WO_MoveWind commands, eg: 

  *WO_MoveWind AntiSpJN AntiSpJN Summary 222 720 1254 1164

(where the parameters are app-name, window-title, and the x0 y0 [x1 y1]
coordinates of the lower left [and optionally also upper right] corner of
the window)

implemented by Druck's 'WindOpen' module (from the Armclub website). 


In the past I've run Obey files which issued a different WO_... command, to
produce a list of the appname/title/position of all currently displayed
windows, and wrote it to a file on the RAM disk.   The obey file then
contained a WaitUntil (by Vince Hudd, IIRC) command to wait for the list
file to get written to, then ran another program which read the file.  It
pattern-matched the appname/title parts of the currently displayed windows
and for those that matched certain criteria issued WO_MoveWind commands for
them quoting the precise appname/title combinations of those windows.

Well, OK, it just seems faster, irrespective!

 the page in mind is the control panel for my networked monsterprinter. 
 it's useful to have it handy during a print job without taking up too
 much screen space.

Alternatively, if you have a tailored browser homepage (I use the same
one across all browsers on all OSes on my local network) you could
include an iframe of the appropriate size and position containing your
printer's home page. I use one here to include a local webcam which
'refreshes itself' but it could just as easily hold any page, local or
otherwise.

It can be found directly here: http://42.tjrh.eu/ when Myonix is up.
(i.e. it's not a copy, it's my actual homepage here served by WebJames)

Warning: some people will hate this page with a vengeance. At times I do.
It may pass the validator but If you are easily offended by too much
content, an over-use of tables for layout, unnecessary transparency,
garish background images and some links which seem simply broken, walk
away now. Thank you. It has been gestating since 2004 but has grown into
a ratty toddler. ;-)

It is interesting to use a mainstream browser alongside NetSurf to see
the differences in rendering. Not many, really, except the lack of
opacity in NetSurf's CSS and its occasional extra line feed in table
cells. That, and you miss the google ads included by using a javascript
script. Shame.  ;-)
