- I am not sure where you got the CODE editor and what version it is (probably
- 2.4 from a developer CD or 2.9 from an ETO), and it's been a while since
- I looked into things, but I believe if you can get into ResEdit, open the
- ResEdit Preferences file in the Preferences folder (in the System Folder),
- then delete the 'ilrP' resource. That's where the CODE editor remembers its
- prefs. It will revert to its default settings and recreate the ilrP
- resource.
-
- The window position "logic" has changed a number of times (certainly after
- 2.4) and it tries to be "intelligent" about moving its prefs among systems
- with different monitor configurations (or vice versa). Maybe one of these
- versions will get it right :-). At any rate, the newest version is 2.12 and
- will appear on the next ETO. By the way there are no further versions planned.
- 2.12 was just "sitting on the shelf" (since last March) so I decided to let
- it out on the next ETO.
