GETFILE() position

I use getfile() in a small app. When running directly in VFP8, it works
fine. I compile the EXE and the open dialog box from getfile() is shown
off screen. I have to right-click the task icon and select move to get it
to show. I have SCEEN=OFF in my config.fpw. Does that matter?

Actually, it is the "SCREEN=OFF" that is causing the off screen dialog.
What is up with that? I tried to insert _VFP top and left and _SCREEN top
and left with no success.

Any ideas?
