zoom box

The second box from the left in the title bar of a window in Mac OS 9 (it looks like a box with a smaller box inside) and the third button from the left in Mac OS X. Clicking the zoom box makes the window expand to the size of the whole screen (or a reasonable facsimile) or return to its original size.
