Just tried it and found you can't do it this way (or rather, /I/ can't :)
My only guess as to why you'd want these dimensions is so you can limit the size
the user drags to (?), in which case, you've got SizeLimits (for windows to
follow), or WindowLimits_ () for any specified window (-pointer), which'll
work immediately...
Unless you have some other mysterious reason for wanting this...?
See ya,
But what is all this fear of and opposition to oblivion? What
is the matter with the soft darkness, the dreamless sleep?
