I discovered these while messing about last week. So far I've tried them
with card windows: HyperCard sends the "MoveWindow" message once you've
moved a window, and the "SizeWindow" message after you've pulled up the
grow icon with command-shift-E and used it to resize the window. Neither
message is passed any arguments. I assume the messages get sent to the
current card.

If you do a "set rect of card window", it sends "MoveWindow" if the
top-left corner moves, and "SizeWindow" only if the window changes size
without its top-left corner moving.

A quick scan of Winkler and Kamins' tome failed to uncover any mention
of these messages.

By the way, I was doing my experimentation with 2.0v2, not 2.1.

Can anybody shed further light on this?
