Thanks for responding, Jacqueline, Mark, and Scott.
I think Scott has the answer. When I check the windowBoundingRect
property, I get "0,74,1920,1136,"which puts the height of the stack
at 1,062, and exceeds the height of the iMac display. I've never had
occasion to set the windowBoundingRect, but apparently it is padded
on the Mac OS to allow for the menu bar, although I'm not sure what
menu bar is being referred to. Is it the Mac OS Finder menu bar, or
is it a menu bar that the Revolution developer may, at some time,
create for the stack?

Hi Gregory,
Yes, you should have known ;-) but you didn't really do anything
wrong. 1024x768 still is a widely used standard and it is wise to
make sure that a static window fits on a screen with that size.
Alternatively, make yor stack resizable or group all objects in the
stack window and give the group scrollbars. You can adjust the size
of the stack in the preOpenStack script to make sure that
automatically fits on the screen.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

I think I have a lot to learn about resolution and differences
between displays. I developed a stack that is 887 x 657 on an iMac
with a screen that is 1920 x 1200. I transferred the stack to work
to use on an older iMac whose display is 1024 x 768. What
happens at
work is that the width of the stack displays fine but a strip along
the bottom (with all the darn buttons) is cut off. Should I have
known that this would happen? What am I doing wrong?
Either my math is wrong or your measurements are off. You say
your stack is
657 pixels high, and your old iMac screen is 768 pixels high. You
*should*
have 111 pixels to spare (minus the height of the menubar) for
displaying
your stack. The only other thing I can think of is perhaps
checking the
windowBoundingRect property.
