Dear Michael,

Thanks very much. I feared as much.

Best wishes.

Hi Douglas,

hmmm, I see, I should also read the documentation more carefully...

setLocation(x, y, width, height)
Moves and resizes the active *image* window.

Funny enough, this is different from setLocation(x, y), which also  
works with non-image windows. The code in ij.macro.Functions.java  
shows this difference quite clearly.
I fear that this cannot be changed without some risk of breaking  
existing macros that rely on the macro call working on the current  
image window and not on, e.g., a Results window that might be open  
and in front of the image window.

So it seems that you can't resize the Log window in a macro.

Michael
