- Try using the WINDOW menu bar and take a look at the SNAPSHOT option; it
- produces a submenu with two options; Window & All. if you want to snapshot only
- the window select WINDOW. If you want to snapshot the Window, all icons, and
- the current view-type then select ALL. Both these options save both the window
- size AND the window position.
