Thank you for the suggestion.  I'm trying to understand the "x" and
"x!" commands.  I'm using the DEFAULT dynamic configuration.  My
configuration is actually a 1280x720 screen on left with a 960x960
screen on the right.  The RightPanel config is showing on the 1280x720
screen, which is just where I want it desplayed.  But for some reason
the the $[vp.height] is not properly calculating the height.  I'll try
the hard static config with 720.  What I'm not understanding is that
both the static and dynamic configs have both the -225 and -205
lines. So I'm not clear which line you are suggesting should be
modified? I do understand the static config can be calculated against
the 720, but I believe the calculation is against the bottom right, so
having two different size screens is confusing the calculation in the
dynamic setup.
