  Well, I've gotten lots of mail on this one, and all of it has been asking if
I got an answer (except for one person who pointed out that it's possible to
move the horizontal scroll bar a bit, sometimes, and be able to see all of 
the text).

  SO,  Is anyone from Microsoft listening?  How about Claris?  What's going on
here folks?  It's not _super_ inconvenient, but it sure is a pain.  A fix, or
at least an explanation would make me feel much better!

Thanks,

--Mike
