Thanks Doug,

Interesting... Does not squash the bug, but can help.

However, how can I issue AppleScript orders from the Terminal ?
[I sent orders to the terminal from AppleScript, but never in the other way...]

TIA,

Emile

I am sorry to have to report the following:

tell application "Finder"
	set bounds of front window to {0, 44, 100, 100}
	return properties of front window
end tell

When run, the script does its job. BUT, close the window, open it and you get the window back to the previous location and widh/height...


A similar effect occurs when attempting to set window bounds in Terminal.app. Setting the bounds twice helps but making a loop that sets bounds then checks bounds until Terminal gets it right never fails.
