controlling window size

[Ron Patterson]

For the life of my I can't seem to figure out how to retain window sizing
permanently. I will resize a window and it may stay the size for a few
usages but it will eventually revert back to full screen size.

This is especially irksome when I go thru a large directory 'tree' in My
Docs to get to a file. some of these 'branches' only have one or two sub
directories in them and no need for a full screen view.

How do I customize individual windows so that when I set their size, they
will always open that size for that window and not revert to full screen
view? What triggers it to revert back to full screen view?
