1. An answer to last issue's question about 
moving and resizing windows via the keyboard 
appears below. Please do not email any more 
questions, as a forum will soon be up to serve 
that purpose. Until then, one last reader 
question:

Is there a resolution changer that takes 
command line paramaters like: "resize 16bit 
800x600" which could then be made into a 
shortcut? The reader has already tried Resize 
and Multires but wants something simpler for 
his 4 year old son like, "click on the DUCK 
icon before you put in your CD" or something 
similar.

+++MANIPULATING WINDOWS VIA KEYBOARD+++

A kind reader replied to last issue's question 
about moving and resizing windows via the 
keyboard:

1) Use <alt>-<space> to display the pull-down 
function menu for the active window.
2) Press <M>, or use the up/down arrow keys to 
select "M)ove".
3) The keypad arrow keys will now move the 
window, in steps of (I think) 10 pixels per 
step.
4) For finer control, use <ctrl>-<arrow key> 
combinations to move one pixel at a time.
5) Press <Return> when the new window location 
is suitable, and you're done.

(NOTE: If you press <Esc> at this point instead 
of <Return>, the window snaps back to its 
previous location.)

Resizing is similar, but you can only resize 
one edge of the window at a time with the 
keyboard (i.e., either width or height, but not 
both simultaneously).
