   IMO, the resolution is less important than storing the app size and   
   position when the user closed it.  This way you can always open the app   
   in the position and size the user prefers.   
      
   That said, look at sysInfo() in ObjectPAL help - it has resolution   
   information.  (I only use this to determine whether or not to maximize   
   Paradox.  If the resolution is 800x600 or less, I maximize; otherwise, I   
   explicitly size and position it to take up a portion of the screen.)   
      
   FWIW,
