I was given this:

<<assuming I understand the question correctly...>>

ALT + SPACE + M to move the window,
ALT + SPACE + S to resize the window.

Now, use the arrow keys to move/resize the window to your heart's
desire.  Press ENTER when done.

Subject: modifying windows viewable area?


EASI list,
I received this question today, and am hopeful someone on the list can
help?

I have an accessibility question. It's not a web issue but involves
windows programs of all kinds. Here's the issue: I require large fonts.
I keep having trouble with programs on windows where the screens assumed
a higher resolution so that some crucial controls are actually located
off the screen (like the next or finish or OK button or a big drop down
list where the bottom is actually off the screen) Then windows will not
allow me to move the top of the window up so that I can see the bottom
of the window. Is there a way to modify windows so it will get over not
letting a window go up when it is letting the bottom of the window be
out of the viewable area? I have actually encountered programs so
recalcitrant that the only way I could operate the program was to
increase the resolution. This must be an extremely common problem. What
am I missing?

thanks to all,
