Could you defien what you maen by "everything just works"? I took a crack
at this a while back, and could never get what I expected. But then perhaps
my expectations were too high.
I expected to be able to (for instance) go inoot a page biger than my wndow
on netscapee, and use the scroll wheel to scroll the viewport of the page
up/down in that window.
If this is what you ahve working, then I would like to now how.
Thanks.
