It seems to me that if it's too hard to grab with the mouse that one could/should use the keyboard. 1.1 has a comprehensive set of keyboard bindings for scrollbar control. Also, when it comes to fine positioning of scale controls, one is often forced to use the keyboard rather than the mouse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Ellsworth | ben@cv.hp.com Hewlett-Packard Company | {backbone}!hplabs!hp-pcd!ben ----------------------------------------------------------------------- All relevant disclaimers apply. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
