Folks,

Another Mac question. Somehow I got the IDL Workbench behind
the "Apple" bar at the top. Now I can't move the darn thing,
or even close it. I have the same problem when the program
gets resized and the resizing point on the lower-right of
the window goes behind the application icons on the bottom.
How to cope?

Thanks,

David

P.S. Of course, the Workbench knows where it is suppose to
come up now, so it's, uh, sort of useless to me. :-(

Another solution exists if you're using Spaces in 10.5: The F8 key
will bring up the overview of your 'spaces' and at that point you can
drag a window around to your heart's content. I do this all the time
when the top of a window gets stuck under the menu bar, which happens
when I shift between different configurations of monitors with my
laptop.
