I run Emacs under (sigh) Windows XP. Before I upgraded to Emacs
22.3.1, the following near the beginning of my .emacs file always had
the right effect:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;;;INITIAL SETUP
(setq inhibit-default-init t)
(defun minimize-frame ()
(interactive)
(w32-send-sys-command #xf020))
(defun maximize-frame ()
(interactive)
(w32-send-sys-command #xf030))
(defun restore-frame ()
(interactive)
(w32-send-sys-command #xf120))
(defun screen-saver ()
(interactive)
(w32-send-sys-command #xf140))
;; start Emacs maximized
(maximize-frame)
;; Font
;; For a list of available Fonts, eval
;; (insert (prin1-to-string (x-list-fonts "*")))
(set-default-font "-outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso8859-13")
;; Set rows and columns correctly
(set-frame-width (selected-frame) 155)
;; This is where height on screen is finally set:
(set-frame-height (selected-frame) 63) ;changed from 62 07oc08
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, however, the startup seems to skip it. The defuns are not
evaluated (tho I can eval them by hand & they work). The frame does
not come up maximized, and the point size is too big. I added the
first line in case there was a default-init lurking somewhere. I
tried repeating this section at the end of .emacs in case something in
between was undoing it. I could find nothing about this aspect
initialization using info, and I cannot remember where I got the
present code -- probably from some long-departed helpful soul on a
newsgroup.
What has changed?
Thank you for your attention.

This, for some reason, is no longer true. They are in fact
evaluated.
> The frame does not come up maximized,
Nor does it come up in the default size that "restore" restores to,
but in a squarish shape, from which it is impossible to maximize it
either with the mouse (no button) or with maximize-frame (name
recognized & completed under M-x, but has no effect). Using
restore-frame makes it smaller, and from that state it is possible to
maximize it.
Sporadically, tho, restore-frame gives a very tall rectangle, spilling
off the bottom of the screen so that the minibuffer is invisible. I
have not been able to reproduce this.
Also, if I minimize the frame, and bring it back with the mouse, it
comes up maximized.

Please try
(add-hook 'window-setup-hook
(lambda ()
;; Maximize frame.
(w32-send-sys-command 61488)))
instead of this, and tell me whether it works.
Thanks, martin.
