- Try to hold down shift next time you resizes a dos/os2 box. The new
- size should then become the new default size.

- Sometimes a nice feature, but sometimes it is just irritating to have to
- have the mouse pointer over the text I am typing. Especially when a stupid
- programmer makes his application so that the cursor has to be not only
- over the window, but also over the entry field where the text is to be typed.
-
- The ideal would be if focus follows the mouse into a window, but if I move
- the mouse out of the window (onto the bacground, not into another
- application window) then the focus should stay in the window. That way it would
- be possible to get the mouse pointer out of the way...
