Aah, sounding good. Another little thing, can we have a larger edit window (or
is there any way to make it re-sizeable, it seems silly to me to have to be
only looking at about 20 lines of text when about 60 fit on my screen).

MSIE4 (I suppose I should upgrade, any good reasons not to besides waiting for

(...) I wish edit boxes were draggable interactively like window corners! (Seriously! :) Hmm, I wonder if there's some JavaScript or DHTML thingie by which this could be handled interactively on the client side? --Todd (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
