you're quite right, its getting quite long (and I see no end in sight, at least in the nearest future) :( What may be better (though not trivial, is to have an fm[2] like interface (a kind of explorer interface)), kind of how M$ Blindows Control panel looks like. That way, you maximize to your hearts content, and still have a list view, which you can scroll to your hearts content. IIRC, there was a time, very early on in e17's lifetime, when it looked like that. no? > >> -- >> Hisham Mardam Bey >> MSc (Computer Science) >> http://hisham.cc/ >> +9613609386 >> Codito Ergo Sum (I Code Therefore I Am) >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Using Tomcat but need to do more?
