Is there a way to detect the height of the dock in OSX and of the
taskbar in windows.

I try to create a complete set of routines to: create open and save
documents (windows and mac).

While opening a document I want it to be completly on the screen (also
the bottomRight so it's
possible to resize the doc) and have an offset for the topLeft from
other open docs.
For this I need to know how much room to leave at the bottom for the
dock or the taskbar.
I guess I need a shell command to do this, but unfortunatly I have no
clue



Check out the windowBoundingRect. It gives you the usable rectangle
allowing for the dock or taskbar. However with Macs, it does not allow
for the menu bar, so you may need increase the 2nd item to stop your
windows disappearing under the menu bar.

Maybe that was an old bug that's been fixed? I just ran "put the windowBoundingRect" in MC on my 15" PB and got "0,22,1234,854", which accomodates 22 pixels for the menu bar.
