I see, I'd never noticed that before. It seems that Upp doesn't retain this information, rather it is done by the operating system.

But you can add the functionality easily enough:

class CtrlLibTest : public TopWindow {
public:
    typedef CtrlLibTest CLASSNAME;
    Rect normal;
    
    CtrlLibTest()
    {
        SetRect(0, 0, 308, 344);
        CenterScreen();
        normal = GetRect();
       	Sizeable().MaximizeBox(true).MinimizeBox(true);
       
       	FileIn in(GetDataFile("window.pos"));
       	if (in.IsOpen()) {
       		in % normal;
       		SetRect(normal);
       		SerializePlacement(in, true);
       	}
    }

    virtual void Layout() {
     	if (!IsMaximized() && !IsMinimized() && IsShown())
     		normal = GetRect();
    }

    virtual void Close()
    {
       	FileOut out(GetDataFile("window.pos"));
       	if (out.IsOpen()) {
       		out % normal;
       		SerializePlacement(out);   
       	}
       	TopWindow::Close();     
    }
};
