Hi Randy,
	I pressume you are still using 1.4.55x, right?  The "Icon
x11amp.xpm" is just which icon to use when it is iconified. "NoTitle" is
what tells AS to not decorate it with the top Title bar, and the
"NoHandles" is what tells AS to not decorate it with the bottom
pseudo-title - the 'handles' which allow a resize.
	What I have listed below works for me, if it doesn't work for you,
something else in the database file is overriding it.

	**You need to restart AS for this to take effect,
	database changes are not updated dynamically.**

	It was Corbett J. Klempay who asked for the method, Rob Fenton
just replied.  Another point that Rob Fenton made me realize (off list)
was that his answer was correct if you are using AS <= 1.4.3 .

HTH and clears up any confusion :)
