[Dx4win] Lost packet window FOUND! See solution!

[Bill Barr, N4NX]

You guys are great and I think many of your answers were pointing in the 
correct direction.

The answer from Kostas ( see below ) rang the bell!!  I use dual monitors 
and DX4WIN is always displayed in the same position on just one of the two 
monitors.  To make this happen I had gone to File>Preferences>Screen and 
checked "Leave all windows in original position".  This works great and is 
really a function I want; however, I must have somehow gotten the packet 
window completely off the screen and of course it was destined to stay there 
as long as the box was checked and saved. I did what Kostas said and 
unchecked box, saved and restarted DX4WIN--and low and behold up popped the 
missing packet window!  I highly recommend the "Leave all windows in 
original position" function if you get the windows where you like them, BUT 
if you want to change those positions or in my case find a missing 
window--don't forget to uncheck the box and reposition the layout.

Again thanks to ALL and a special thanks to Kostas.  "You Da Man!"
