You are probably right as Ovpro doesn't Offset multiple window openings.

Mnnn! The app business and Offset is really an aside/distraction to my
specific annoyance, the HD4 Icon bar icon.

When I click on the HD4 icon bar icon, the damn Filer window displays
where ever it wants, and not where I want it to display.

Initially, the top of the Filer window is 115mm up from the bottom of the
RISC OS window, and 5mm in from the left side of the RISC OS window.

Every time it's opened it offsets by 15mm, but as I usually only open it
once when needed, I don't care about that.

With the 1920x1080 Res I'm using, that's way down the screen.

The specific of my quest is...

Where in RISC OS is the configuration that specifies where that HD4 Filer
window opens where it does, by default?

Thanks  :-)
Dave

Aside from knowing the answer to the above question, my Obey file on the
Pinboard opens exactly where I want, whenever I want, and always in the
same place.  :-)
