I think it's easier to configure your SAS session the way you want.  When
everything's set to your liking, you can save your window settings by
issuing the command "wsave all" on any command line or in the command bar.
To save your settings, click on Tools > Options > Preferences.  On the
Preferences dialob, click on the "General" tab and check the "Save settings
on exit" check box.  Then click OK.
