I am sorry if am mistaking but I cannot find any 
reference in the manual as to how one resizes an abstraction to the size one 
wants.
 
Every abstraction keeps resizing itself to 200 - 
140. I then change the dimensions and save it but the next time I open the 
patch
it si back to 200 - 140 again. I tried to edit it 
in the .pd file in a textaditor but that did not work either.
