One lost mystery solved -- _SCALEDWIDTH and _SCALEDHEIGHT are currently for use with $RESIZE, and they tell you the size of your resized window.
Run the above and drag the edges of your screen to resize it. It'll faithfully tell you what your current screen size is for your program.
I guess you could use this information to compare against _DESKTOPWIDTH and _DESKTOPHEIGHT, to make certain that your program doesn't scale beyond the limits of the user's screen, but I'm not thinking of a whole lot of other uses for it besides that off the top of my head.
But for what it's worth, that's what those two commands do -- they give us the scaled width and height of our resized windows.
