Werner E. Helm <helm@fh-darmstadt.de> writes that when his
application is shifted from 800 x 600 resolution to 1024 x 768,
the rightmost and bottom portion are not visible.
 
Werner, perhaps you have it backwards?  Applications that I have
developed at 1024 x 768 resolution have this problem when shown on
a computer set-up 800 x 600 resolution.  Conversely, an application
developed at 800 x 600 resolution will nestle in the upper-left
portion of the screen.
 
The solution is two-fold.  Develop your application at 800 x 600 and
use attachments to get the screen to resize for different resolutions.
The best explanation of attachments appears in the SUGI 19 Proceedings
(1994 - Dallas) in a paper by Bud Whitmeyer, SAS Institute, Inc.,
"Effective Utilization of Region Attachments in a FRAME Application,"
pages 43-52.
 
Beware that attachments are tricky to get to work right!
