The problem doesn't exist for me.  Perhaps it has something to do with 
how we are running Windows itself.  I'm in 800x600 256c resolution.  
Perhaps if you are running with less resolution, the window becomes too 
large and sticks off the screen?  If so, those barnstable guys need to 
recode something to deal with the possibility of running under many 
different resolutions.

Again, it seems perfectly fine to me as long as you keep it maximized.  
When you don't have it maximized, the edit screens don't even show up!  
It's like they didn't write it to be put in a resizable window.  Its more 
written to fit onto one screen of dimensions 800x600.  Thus if you are 
running with less resolution, you are screwed, and if you don't keep it 
maximized, you don't see anything.  Irritating, but its nice to see an 
editor for Windows.  :)
