   Re: Scale a paradox form

   Make sure your forms are all the same size, or pick the largest form.   
   Temporarily put code on the form to get the app size.  Run the form,   
   position form and app as desired.  Trigger the code, record the size of   
   the app, put code in init to size the app.   
      
   That's what I do.  I also set the position of the app window (you can   
   also read size and position on exit, store them for the user, and   
   restore them on start-up - it's not hard (assuming your form has a   
   startup script or form).
