1. ... no guarantee that the Java window will always open at the same position...

2. All the important content from the webpage (excluding forum) is available within theide, so being off-line shouldn't be much of a problem...

3. (you can jump between them using the green arrows next to the search box)

4. the method GetRect() is a basic thing, mentioned in the tutorials and of course also in the Ctrl reference (which everyone using U++ GUI should read, along with TopWindow reference and few others...).

1. The Java window always opens in the top left corner. The different screen resolutions, the top task bar in Linux, etc. is what causes the shift. I didn't like or want a user to drag anything when the apps are started. Works fine now.

2. I noticed the help docs that are installed with Upp are very extensive now. That is a great help, I just need to get familiar with using it. Before it was very limited.
This is a very big improvement for someone getting started with Upp.

3. The green arrows are very handy.

4. That has been my problem in not spending enough time understanding "Ctrl reference, TopWindow reference and few others...". I just recently learned how to include bazaar in the options to choose when opening theIde. C:\upp\examples\Bombs\main.cpp has "Rect r = GetRect();" which didn't show how to get the left and top position. Other than that it is only found in bazaar and uppsrc. This is looking back as previously I was looking for "rect".

I appreciate the help, thanks Honza.
