That's possible if you can figure out a way to resize the Squeak window from 
inside Squeak. Probably you could use FFI to do it; perhaps there is an 
easier way to do it using one of the Win32 specific plugins or by invoking an 
external program to resize the window.

As long as you don't need more than one window, this is easy.

But would this work:

* normally the window is small
* when you choose "new task":
	- window is resized larger
	- window contents change as needed for defining a new task
