GetScreenData(&wbscreen, sizeof(struct Screen), WBENCHSCREEN, NULL); myscreen.Width = wbscreen.Width; myscreen.Height = wbscreen.Height; /* Now go ahead and open custom screen; width/height will be correct */ Exactly the same method can be used if you want to open a Workbench window which is the full size of the screen, or for that matter, a smaller window which is centered correctly in the middle of the screen. -- Eddy Carroll ----* Genuine MUD Wizard | "You haven't lived until ecarroll@vax1.tcd.ie | you've died in MUD!" ecarroll%vax1.tcd.ie@cunyvm.cuny.edu | -- Richard Bartle
