oops.
cool - it works now. thank you james and peter.
Good stuff, glad to be able to help.
sorry for sending weired files. but i guess one could call this a gui bug - if you can't open files someone else saved on a second screen...
In windows, you can right click on the item in the taskbar, click 'move', then press a cursor key, and it brings the deranged window back (I often need to do this when I make a fullscreen GEM while editing a patch on the second screen). I don't think it's really a bug, but it can certainly be irritating. Not nearly as irritating as having to edit the file manually would be, though... or, for that matter, if the position of windows was not saved. I guess there could be something in the GUI to force windows onto the screen when loaded, but it doesn't seem worth the devs bothering about too much, IMHO.
