   Enlightening and interesting, and of course absolutely right.   
      
   But how to use opal to resize the Paradox outer shell (the Paradox windows   
   application) to fit the form precisely?   
      
   With Paradox 11 I have problems with the form zoom property because   
   text-editing gets a weird lag with the cursor(Bertil has described and   
   confirmed this phenomena) So with this problem in mind there is almost a   
   *must* to use a form scale of 100%. But I should very much like to know how   
   to resize the Paradox application to fit the form, so the users (with   
   different screen resolutions) don't have to do this manually. Any tip?
