Jake,
I pretty much figured out [after websearching the best resources I have
on FORMS & HTML] that the WRAP feature has to be set to width of
displayed field or *less* ...
So I'm in the process of rewriting the Arachne GUI which F-2 calls up,
for sending URLs &/or pages. The page really doesn't look bad with the
wider module in the center of the middle line, and it means that WRAP
can be set to match all the other textareas in the Arachne GUI pages. I
have some fine tuning to do, but will then make available to the list a
URL where both the "Arachne standard" GUI and my "Include E-Dress List
on Page" GUI can be downloaded.
Thanks for the input ...
l.d.
