Yeah, after hand-changing all the demo programs I could agree. I'll try to
knock up a quick and dirty conversion program.

No. The create() and other routines still accept the same parameters as they
do now. Here's an example ...

  myWin = create(Window, "TEST", 0,
            20,     -- The left edge is at pixel #20 across
            30,     -- The top edge is at pixel #30 down
            400,    -- The width is exactly 400 pixels
            300,    -- The height is 300 pixels
            0)
  Btn1 = create(MleText, "", myWin,
            0.25, -- Left edge is 25% of the window width
            25,   -- Top edge is 25 pixels down
            {-1, -10}, -- width extends to right edge less 10 pixels
            0.5,     -- height is 50% of window height
            0)
when this really comes in to its fore is on a parent resize event.

procedure onResize_myWindow(...)
    setPosition(Btn1,
            0.25, -- Left edge is 25% of the window width
            25,   -- Top edge is 25 pixels down
            {-1, -10}, -- width extends to right edge less 10 pixels
            0.5     -- height is 50% of window height
               )
end procedure
