While implementing Klicko's window maximizing behavior, at first I noticed that iTunes didn't respond at all to the Accessibility command to set window size. However, since version 8 (I think), it does; also, option-clicking on the Zoom button now resizes the iTunes window to an "optimum" size. There's still no menu equivalent though... -- Rainer Brockerhoff <rai...@brockerhoff.net> Belo Horizonte, Brazil "In the affairs of others even fools are wise In their own business even sages err."
