I'm enough of a veteran to know what "nn" is, but I never used it. > I'll have to try the above idea with a simple animation as soon as am > finished with what I'm avoiding working on right now. The main problem I see is with large headers. The entire post (header and picture) would need to fit in the reader window. Not a big problem with my 67 line terminal (of which 54 end up showing the post), but them "800x600 with web browser and many button bars" guys are not going to see anything. I suppose the "multiple sections of equal length in one post" method is still better, even though it need exact window resizing. -- Neil Franklin, neil@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Nerd, Geek, Unix Wizzard and Guru, Hacker, Sysadmin, Roleplayer, Mystic Computer: toy that speeds work, so you have more time to play with it
