Hi Geoff,

- below is a concept/draft script that could be added to the default file to 
provide the capability.

It may be better to add the necessary bits to either, 
ScreenSensitiveHelpTechnical, or  SayActiveCursor to increase their 
information & save adding a keystroke.

Script SayWindowSize ()
VAR

INT WinLeft,

INT WinRight,

INT WinTop,

INT WinBottom,

INT WinWidth,

INT WinHeight,

STRING CursorName

IF NOT GetWindowRect (GetCurrentWindow (), WinLeft, WinRight, WinTop, 
WinBottom) THEN

SayUsingVoice (VCTX_Message, "Failed to get window boundaries", 
OT_No_Disable)

RETURN

ENDIF

LET CursorName = stringChopRight (GetActiveCursorName (), 6) ; remove the 
word 'active' which follows the cursor name returned by the function

LET WinWidth = WinRight - WinLeft

LET WinHeight = WinBottom - WinTop

Say ("Window size at the " + CursorName, OT_No_Disable)

Say (IntToString (WinWidth) + " pixels wide.", OT_No_Disable)

Say (IntToString (WinHeight) + " pixels high.", OT_No_Disable)

EndScript



Regards,
Paul from Aust

Are you thinking of GetWindowRect?  This gives all four dimensions of the
bounding rectangle, and there are also the corresponding functions
GetWindowLeft/Top/Right/Bottom if you only need one of them.  You need to
know the window handle in each case.
