- Thanks to all the advice. Here are the best solutions I got.
-
- AmigaGuide: There are menu options to normalise the window size and
- save the settings under the multiview version of amigaguide. the window
- size is stored in "ENV:multiview/Workbench Screen" and when you save
- the settings the file and its path is saved in "ENVARC:".
-
- CLI: If you use kingCON (like you should) you can save the default window
- sizes under the environment variable KCON.prefs. It's parameters are used
- by any console which does not override them. You can also set the window
- name and alternate window size. The syntax to defaulting is the same as
- the normal CON: method with a few extras. This can be found in the KCON
- guide.

- Thanks again
