That's a really major major major major - did I say major? - bummer: I'm
used to 1280x1024 in 16 bits or higher on my 21" screen. Anyway, I'll
give the 68000 version a go, and check the MUI toolbar settings.

Ouch, that sort of removes the purpose of having the WYSIWYG window
then. If I wanted to edit source directly, I would not have bought
MetalWeb.

These things do not seem settable in the options window. Even worse, if
I change the source code in a two-frame page from "12%,88%" to something
like "100, *" (100 pixels for the first frame and the remainder for the
other frame) and then load and save it in MetalWeb, it will have changed
the values back to percentages again. This means that whatever I make in
MetalWeb, there is a point where I have to make manual changes. If I
want to make another change using MetalWeb, I have to apply all these
manual changes again.

I sure hope so. Thanks for the 68000/MUI tip, I'll give it a try.
