Happy new year, and some questions

I wish all of you a happy new year.

For me, the new year started quite well. I got my PCMCIA driver and the
related application running.
Thanks to all of you who helped me or at tried to help me. I had to remove
a lot of obstacles. If anybody ever has to write another PCMCIA driver, I
think now I might be able to provide help.

Nevertheless, work goes on and I have a new set of questions:

Q1: In order to determine the exact amount of heapspace required, I know
I have to use SWAT and investigate.
Can I do this on the simulated OMNIGO or do I have to do it on the
real Omnigo ?

Q2: Is there a similar way to determine the exact amount of stack space
required ?

Q3: How can I reduce the font size in my GenGlyphClass, GenTextClass, and
GenValueClass ?
( With a fast study of the object class descriptions I could not
find a solution. )

Q4: Using (a subclass of) GenInteractionClass as a push button in the
menu bar, I specified GI_visMoniker = "TEXTXXXXXX".
Now, TEXTXXXXXX is either not a suitable title for my window, or,
if I make it more expressive, it is too large for the push button.
How can I use two different texts, one for the push button and a
larger one for my window title ?

Q5: The content of one of my windows may slightly exceed the Omnigo
screen size. In this case, when the window appears first, some text
on the RIGHT hand is truncated.
However, when the window is closed and reopened again, the text is
truncated at the LEFT hand side.
Does anybody know how to shift the window contents to the right
hand side. Which Omnigo keys or pen actions might have this effect ?

Q6: Is there a way to retrieve the user/owner name of my GEOS from a
program ?
I dom't know whether GEOS systems other than Omnigo GEOS have a
unique user/owner name.
