I would like to allow the user to grow a window to the size of his/her
largest monitor or beyond.  I have noticed that in the Finder, the size 
of the folder windows may not exceed the size of the main monitor (the one
with the menu bar) even if the window is in a larger monitor.  I want to
avoid this problem by asking how one properly gets the sizeRect for 
GrowWindow. 

If sizeRect is the size of the main monitor, then it can not be 
grown for any larger monitors.  If it is defined by the monitor containing 
the upper-left corner of the window, then the window can not be 
grown into a second monitor.  Should I make it the union of the rects 
from all monitors?  Is there a guideline about this?

Talk to me.
