Fair enough, but that is why I was puzzled. It seemed I did not
understand your specification.

David, your text was jumping out of its box on my 20" monitor, I
rarely use the whole area for a browser and I often read with
text size bigger than you seem more accustomed to. I was not
really chiding you, I was thinking up theories about what it was
quite that you were wanting. I was not in any way critical of
Ben's proposals.
Lets see if you like the latest proposed solution by someone who
studiously avoids my name... someone who seems to have a rather
nice idea. If this does not please you, say so and I will have a
go... <g>
