[fpc-pascal] Where's my OSX window dressing?

Okay, sorted. I had inadvertently relocated the application's main form
design position to 0,0 and it was specified to appear at Form.Position
poDefault which seems to mean the design location. I've changed the
Form.Position to poDesktopCenter and it works okay now.

What puzzles me is that OSX allows an application to appear such that
its title bar is hidden by the desktop menu bar but does not seem to
provide an easy way to then relocate the window to a new position.

I'm clearly a Mac newbie, what am I missing?

Cheers, Bruce.
