actually there are 2 easier ways to do this, well one, firstly string $myWin = `window -width 100 -height 250 -sizeable 1 coolWindow`; showWindow $myWin; This saves u editing the window. Secondly create this window and drag it to a size you want. Now in the script editor enter: window -q -wh $myWin; This will spit out the size that u have manually resized the window to, just enter these into the first bit of code. (We could have used the -wh flag in the first example, -wh 100 250) AnDy
