Please reply to deeds@rcn.com. Thanks. I agree that some viewing space would be lost with the addition of scroll bars. However, with the capability of zooming in/out, that is not that great a problem. In addition, many users are now using the larger screens which more or less negate the loss of viewing space. Scroll bars are so common today that everyone know how to use them. The arrow icon Toolbar buttons are also easy and intuitive. But switching from a scroll-bar equipped program to DM and back is a bit disconcerting in that I have to re-think things.
