   As far as I have been able to figure out, the opening behavior of all VIO   
   windows is controlled by    
   the Shield application in the User Ini file. This can be inspected using the   
   registry editor. Here    
   is an exported version of the Shield application on my system:   
      
   ACShield   
   KC~Font Size...   
   VX0A12   
   KCfMaximize   
   VX0100   
   KCsInitialShape   
   VX8700A403F0035A0094000300000073010080   
      
   There are three keywords: ~Font Size..., fMaximize, and sInitialShape along   
   with their corresponding    
   values.   
      
   ~Font Size... is self explanatory.   
      
   If fMaximize=1 the window opens in maximized state at at the location   
   specified in sInitialShape. If    
   a program is run in a maximized cmmand window or if any maximized VIO window   
   is minimized and    
   redisplayed, the window reappears at the upper left corner of the screen. If   
   the mouse cursor is    
   moved into the title bar area too rapidly, the eCenter appers on top and   
   another object must be    
   given focus before the window will display on top of eCenter again. If the   
   window is changed to    
   restored state at any time, it will return to its initial location and size   
   immediately and after    
   any subsequent program execution or other minimization.   
      
   If fMaximize =0 the window will open in restored state at a location chosen by   
   the system by a    
   method I have not been able to figure out. The size will be 80x25 and there   
   will be scroll bars if    
   the size specified in sInitialShape is larger. Maximizing the window will   
   cause it to go to the    
   upper left hand corner and assume the specified shape. The window can also be   
   changed to its maximum    
   shape by dragging the borders. After running a program or minimizing and   
   redisplaying the window    
   goes back to the upper left corner if in maximized state or to its location at   
   the time of    
   minimization if in restored state.   
      
   I have no idea what the rationale of this design is. It seems pretty goofy to   
   me.
