To Glenn McCorkle & others:

Try tx for the state (big Texas), that will be a nice long page, and it always
scrolled neatly in IBM Web Explorer for OS/2 Warp.  This, and downloading 
without viewing, were strong points of an otherwise severely limited browser.
No frames, no Java, no Javascript, no redirection, remember?

I've tried loading a big long concatenated email file in Arachne, and it was
prohibitively slow (> 400 KB), and line numbers didn't show.  It was
near-impossible to return to a desired point in the middle of the file.
Scrolling was also slow and clumsy, and this was offline.
