Clearly Quincey can read minds. He is exactly right about the wrongness of my thinking. I hope he doesn’t read my mind too much longer, or he will get horribly tangled in dusty cob webs of ill-conceived good intentions!

What he apparently wants is *manual* resizing and repositioning with automatic application of *manual* size limits. This is functionality that doesn’t exist in Cocoa, and it’s certainly not Auto Layout.
