First, I think that you have an error in the syntax of the Window statement:
_dialogFramed  should be   _dialogFrame

Second, make sure that the values that you use in the SIZE1, etc variables
are what you expect.  I did the following simple program and had no problem
creating a window centered on the screen.


dim as short wnum, size1, size2, size3, size4
dim as str255 wtit$


wnum   = 1
wtit$  = "test"
size1  = 0
size2  = 0
size3  = 450
size4  = 450

WINDOW wnum,wtit$,(size1,size2)-(size3,size4),_dialogFrame



Changing the value of SIZE1 and SIZE2 will move the window to an off-center
position on the screen.

Hope this helps
