Thank you Craig, for giving me some validation.   I thought maybe the question was so stupid that no one was answering.  Guess no one knows.  In which case, I'm proud of the fact that I've stumped this group of people.

 So, lets reframe the question then.

Does anyone know how a window air conditioner works?  And as such, do you know where it tends to trap water?  From there we should be able to come up with a solution of mediocre persuasion.

Anyone? Anyone?  (as said in the movie "Ferris Beullers Day Off"  by Ben Stein)

Darn, I guess this means there's no escaping the seasonal drenching. I was so looking forward to a solution to that. Anyone?
