Re: st: Do-file editor window hidden

["Michael N. Mitchell" <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

Dear Alex

  This is a shot in the dark, but sometimes I have had windows that went "off the 
screen". This is how I have brought them back...

  - Select the do-file editor in the taskbar
  - Press Alt-Spacebar (this bring up the menu for that window)
  - Press M (this selects the "move" option)
  - Use the arrow keys (up down left right) to try and re-position the window onto the 
screen.

I hope this helps.

Best luck!
