True. I would wire the + and - keys to zooming actions that preserve the aspect ratio, which I'd take to be the same as the aspect ratio of the "host" window, even if there are scrollbars. This decoupling of aspect ratio and resolution seems rather natural to me, from a user interaction point of view. -- O.L. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
