The Question is: So, how come when I'm on the Wizard page and I click on a question, the answer window comes up shifted nearly all of the way to the right, and I've got to drag it clear over to the left and past the left margin in order to get to the "maximize" button, wh ich I have to click in order to make it fit my screen ? If this was done intentionally, it's purpose is lost on me ... I'm using Windows Explorer 5.0. The Answer is : If anything, the OpenVMS Ask The Wizard site has been too successful for the current information design, and on-going changes are being made to improve your access to the information at the website. As the site design continues to evolve and change, the OpenVMS Wizard apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks you for your patience. The current "pop-up" of the new browser window was implemented to help reduce the number of (repeated) downloads of the Wizard page -- the page is obviously getting very large, and with correspondingly longer download times as the page increases. The OpenVMS Wizard has received requests to avoid breaking up the page to permit readers to continue to use simple searches to locate questions and answers. The "pop-up" was a stop-gap method that avoided the frequent reloads, but that also permitted easy viewing of the questions and answers. (The "search the titles" capability is another addition that is designed to assist here.) The OpenVMS Wizard is working on a design that categorizes the questions and answers into a searchable knowledge base with a more "intelligent" front-end. This is analogous to the design of other similar websites. As for the selection of the "pop-up" window, the browser was set to an offset that looked acceptable on a 1280x1024 display. The selection has now been altered to (0,0), to cause the new window to always appear in the upper left corner of the display.
