It *is* possible to move it off-screen so far that 
you can't grab it any more.  In that case, it's 
gone forever.  ;-0  Just kidding!  It doesn't
have to be a bad hair day...  ;-)

With Frame closed, open maker.ini (or fmsgml.ini
if you use FM+SGML 6 or earlier) in the Frame
home directory with a text editor like Notepad.
Find the "CCatalog" entry under [DialogLayout],
and edit the first two numbers to be "0, 0".
That's the screen position, and will put the
catalog in the top left corner; you can then
move it to wherever you really want it.  Make 
sure the last two numbers are *not* 0; they
are the width and height, "130, 180" is good.
So you might wind up with:

[DialogLayout]
;------------------------- Dialog & Window layout ---------------------
MakerWin=3, -1, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 640, 400
PCatalog=500, 40, 130, 180
CCatalog=0, 0, 130, 180
 ...

HTH!
