can't move the "new message" window & now can't send e-mail

I mistakenly moved the "new message" window upwards on the screen---now the
box that would enable me to close the message is hidden under the menu bar of
my Powerbook. The send button is hidden, too. And the bar at the top of the
window is ALSO hidden! So I can't move the window and can't actually send (or
address) e-mail. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Rightclick the window on the Taskbar and choose Maxinize. The window will
fill the screen now.

Sorry Roady - Powerbooks don't have a right click option. Only one button
on Macs.

Tehehe, overlooked the Mac part ;-)
Well holding CTRL+click emulates it, right? :-D

Not sure if my answer still applies on a Mac...

Part of the problem is that I can't GET to the taskbar (I assume that's the
name for the bar at the top of the "new message" window)---it's stuck under
the menu bar of my Powerbook. And typing Control + click has no effect.
Nothing I do works---there doesn't seem to be any way to drag the message
window down so I can use it.
Any other thought?
Thanks a lot.

It's the title bar. Is there an icon representing the running process
anywhere? Can you click it? If so, do you get a list of options like
"Restore", "Maximize", "Minimize", "Move", etc? If you do and can click
Move, then the arrow keys should allow the window to move. Otherwise,
choose the "Maximize" options and see if it adusts to the screen.
