Well... this would be going the other way, wouldn't it?

For example, PG Pro shows me the dimensions of a 13" monitor. I then 
using the frame that PG Pro states is a 13" frame, design a window to 
fill the maximum extent of the 13" monitor. However, when I run the 
program showing the 13" window on my 11.25" laptop monitor, it only 
covers about 3/4 of the screen. In other words, if I believe PG Pro, 
then my laptop with a 11.25" monitor is acting like a 15" monitor -- 
it doesn't make sense. There is something here that I'm not getting.

A while back I had a similar conversation with Staz when I designed 
Quarters to run on all machines, even back to the old toaster Mac's. 
However, in testing when I designed a window that was supposed to be 
the maximum size of the toaster Mac, it still filled only about 3/4 
of the monitor when run on my toaster Mac. I never did figure out 
that one and Staz was very adamant that PG Pro "Show Monitor Frames" 
thing is accurate -- so, I figured that I didn't understand what was 
going on and I dropped the subject.

If someone could explain this to me, I sure would like to know what 
I'm not getting.
