I just upgraded to V6.0 of iSeries Access and I am having problems with
my emulator windows not keeping their size. I want them to be at
808x526, and every morning they switch back to 808x476. I have to drag the bottom
of the window down 40 or 50 pixels and they resize perfectly, but it's a bit of an inconvenience.

I've tried saving using the File / Save, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem. Has anyone run into something like this?

I see mine stored in the .ws file for the session (as opposed to the .ini used in the previous versions.)

You said you used File / Save - any errors? Do you have permission to write to the file? (I would expect an error if you don't have permission, but stranger things have happened.)

That's a setting in IBM i Access for Windows Properties (it should be in your IBM i Access menu). You can select whether to store in the .WS or in the pcswin.ini file. I may have to play with that. My pcswin.ini has the right size (808 526) but there's nothing in my .WS files about the size.

Another strange thing is that IBM i Access for Windows Properties says I am running 7.1, but when I do Help / About in the emulator I see version 6.1. I am getting sooooo confused. :)
