Perhaps I should be more explicit, Frank. The default
position of RPCEmu's window is with the top left-hand
corner about 1/3 of the way down the screen and a similar
proportion across the screen. If I try and enter
full-screen mode then, as expected, the title bar
disappears but the window remains in its default position
so that the icon bar is unseen below the bottom of the
display and the window cannot be moved to bring it into
view.

No. In this case the title bar disappears and the RISC OS
desktop fills the display height.

Not here as my expanded description above shows.

The idea of having RPCEmu on a different workspace had not
occurred to me. If I can resolve my current issue, I'll
look at that.

I've just checked and they do work in just the same way.

Thanks for your input, Frank.
