I'm trying to rescale some window objects. That's no problem, except that when I break the resized window with an arrow the broken window object reverts to the original window size.
I've been poking around in Edit Object to see if I can also resize the broken window, but can't see obviously what I need to change. Can anybody help?

What's happening here is that the window you are using has a corpse of the same size of the original. What I would do is create the desired scaled version in you gamesys file, copy the scale settings for that window, create the broken version with same desired scale, and link that as a corpse to the scaled window.
Hope that helps.

Ah well that's certainly helped, thanks!
Only problem now is that the linked corpse adopts the appropriate height, but can't seem to accept the value for the width of the corpse object, and seems to revert to the default value (4 units, rather than the 6 I want).

Yeah, that's going to happen if you have your custom window listed under BreakWin. You may want to create it either under Windows or create a new section that has you custom windows. You'll need to copy everything except the corpse link from BreakWin.
