   That process works to correctly position the window...and indeed I have done    
   this on my new machine and it works fine. The problem I am really talking   
   about    
   is that the window gets re-positioned to the top left corner when it's    
   re-displayed after invoking PM window from within it's session first.   
      
   Your directions do nothing to alleviate that problem.
