In GUI mode you are no longer running in a console. The XbpCRT object is 
of fixed size based on the number of columns, lines, and font size. 
These are set in the  Appsys function at start up. You can copy the 
APPSYS.PRG from \ALASKA\XPPW32\SOURCE\SYS modify and link to change the 
size. To dynamicly change size by mouse etc you need to move on to the 
XbpDialog class.

This is what happens if a dialog is the "child" an other dialog. Make 
the second window 'Owned' by the original.

ie oDlg2 := XbpDialog():New(AppDeskTop(),oDlg1, aPos, aSize)

It then really neat to set the MoveWithOwner ivar so moving oDlg1 also 
moves oDlg2
