   I do not doubt what you are saying...however my old setup (which is sitting    
   right next to me) does in fact allow me to do what should be impossible...the    
   window is restored back (maximized) to the position it was in before invoking    
   the PM program from within it.   
      
   Granted, I am running a number of add-ons, such as XWorkplace for example.    
   So...somewhere in there, who knows how deep in the bowels of the beast, lies   
   the   
   answer..LOL.   
      
   Anyways, thanks for the hints guys, much appreciated, if I figure this out   
   I'll    
   be sure to follow-up with a post!
