I have a question.  

Everyone seems to agree that a command for expanding the window to
full size and back to original size later is a good idea.  The
question is do people like this user interface (double clicking on the
title bar, which is also used in the Microsoft applications)?

Some other possibilities:

- a menu command and keyboard equivalent
- double clicking on the window grow box
- a button (similar to close box) somewhere on the title bar
- a button next to one of the scroll bars (on top of the vertical
  scroll bar or to the left of the horizontal one)

In MacApp 0.3, we have implemented the menu command option, but the
primitives are there to support any user interface.  

Mail me your vote, and I will summarize the results later.

Thanks.
