And what happens when you narrow the window to say 2/3 of that width? Do the text paragrphs reformat to the new width, or do you just end up with a scrollbar and paragraphs that you have to scroll right to read? >> http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=1&chap=2 >> > > This one has a horizontal scrollbar but only adjust about a half inch or > so.
