[PD] newbie GEM questions

[Patrick Pagano]

Hi
i am using GEM 087 cvs with the G4 optimisations, and i am interested 
in this thread. My question is similar
my default window seems to be a 320x240 window.
I would like to resize it so it defaults to a 1024x768 as well

can someone include a simple example or point to one that shows simple 
winow re-assignments for gemwin.
i an controlling GEM from a second monitor as well

Pat
