This is something of a Poser initiation rite. All newbies chant after me:-

• Woe unto me for I am a newbie.

No I can't hear you .... again...- Woe unto me for I am a newbie

Much better ... ok with me ....- My window it doth disappear

• It hides from me because I am unworthy
• Lo I will beseech the General who dwells behind the Edit menu
• General, General Preferences I envoke thy name. Come to the aid of thy humble servant I beseech thee.

After much fasting and penance behold a window will open unto thee and ye shall be called upon to make a choice. Search thy soul and choose wisely, listen to thy heart, hear the whispering words ..... "Launch to Factory State" ..... "Launch to Factory State" ...."Use Factory State" ...."Use Factory State". Only the purest of heart will hear. Listen well, then with all thy might click the OK.

Now oh searcher after the eternal realm of Poser nevada a test of faith...... CLOSE POSER!

The testing is over, the time of harvest is come, open Poser again. And behold arrayed before you is a new screen fresh as a new born day. Your trial is over ... you are no longer a newbie. Welcome to the clan of Poser

Canny clan members will at this stage rearrange their screens the way they like them and click on one of the UI memory dots. This because the General is known to test even the faithful by stealing their window from time to time.
