I'm aware of that problem, John. It's not the width of the screen that bothers me, but the height. At the moment, I'm writing in a screen an inch high. I'm making carriage returns at the end of about five inches. When I mazimize the screen, then I get a much better working space. I still try to make carriage returns at the end of five inches. The real culprits are mailers like the one Diana uses (pace Diana!) where it doesn't generate hard carriage returns. Everything I get from Diana that isn't on one of her "better" machines, comes out as one long line that I have to arrow over to read. Please fix that, Diana!!! Or be aware of which machine you're on and make compensations! ;-) I value what you say and it makes me dizzy and nauseous to have to read a moving line like that. I'm dealing with this... it doesn't have the search engine that PINE had, so in a long mail spool I can't ask to see John Cowan's messages, or Diana Slattery's messages. I have to arrow up tediously through six hundred or so messages. I keep everything that I find pertinent. But now at least it's on my disk.
