Thanks guys.  Yeah I had picked up that pressing the reset button centres the selection and you can then rotate around it. 
 
Re maximizing.  I've just looked up the reference and programmed the F keys to maximise each view and one to split them again.  This works fine for me as this is how C4D switches windows. 
 
Keep up the good work.  I have to say that the way snapping works is very clever.
