open help window the same state/position as last time

Hi!

It's just a small wish, but something that bothers me every time I'm using Pb as I'm always using the included help...

When the help window opens, it's not maximized and always a little bit off-screen.. so my first step is always to maximize it to get everything into view.
Maybe it's possible to store it's last position and reopen it at the same position the next time?

So when I maximize the help window, close it and open it again - it should open as maximized as it was before, this would be great :)

br, Roland

@nalor: Thank you for your suggestion.

I've always wished that if would be nice to be able to specify, in preferences, the window width on opening tools.

For instance:

Procedure window - narrow
Help window - very wide.

Etc. etc.

Totally agree with the first post. Always have to maximize the Help,
despite the Preferences settings for it. I even reported it before. ;)

+1 for this, too.

...and add to it to save the debug Variables splitter position.

On windows this is managed by windows-helpsystem and not by PB.
My help comes always in last dimension on last place.
Only maximized is ignored, but the dimension is from full screen.

The IDE could easily do a #SW_MAXIMIZE to the Help window after displaying it.
