Thank you, Eric and Craig, for your suggestions. I'll try scripting
it right off the bat as per your suggestion, Craig, then I'll take
work through your tutorial, Eric, to see how I can improve it. To
answer your question, Craig, the combined height and width of the two
fields is not constant, but that is not a problem because that sort of
resizing is handled by the geometry manager whenever the stack is
resized.
Regards,
Gregory

Two thoughts:
1. If you don't lock the cursor after having set it, it returns
instantly to the default cursor.
2. My tutorial 'How to Manage Stack Resizing' might help you: your
exact case is in it :-)
You will access this tutorial through "Tutorials Picker" a free
plugin that interfaces with the So Smart Software website in order to
display all available tutorials stacks directly from the web.
You will find it by going to http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/
Revolution/Plugins or Tutorials section.
Best regards from Paris,

At first blush I would have made two fields kind of locked together,
that is,
the bot of the top field tracks the top of the bottom field. You
don't need a
button. And isn't this the way you really want it, that the total
height of
both fields is fixed? That the text of the top field is completely
independent
of the text in the bottom? Both fields can scroll, for example, if
authored
this way.
To resize, in each field script, you simply check to see if you are
within a
few pixels of the common border, and if so, change the cursor (or
something)
and enter a repeat loop if the mouse is down. Set the tops and bots,
and exit
the loop when the mouse is up.
You can always add a visual gadget of some kind that also tracks the
common
border. In HC I might use a thin button, in Rev I bet there are much
more
colorful choices.
