Someone asked this question before, but since I have seen no answers to it
in this newsgroup and the original poster did not give me an answer, I will
have to ask the newsgroup again: What can one do with mode-lines that
extend off the screen?
I suppose it would be nice if one could scroll the mode-line horizontally
like the buffer, or have a continuation that wrapped the text around
instead of truncating it. But I would be happy with something much less, a
routine perhaps that used the variable mode-line-format to print out the
mode-line in another buffer. Does anyone have such a thing?
