I have been using some html (modified slightly) on character entities from
the W3C site as reference for years. I think, if I may, I will now use
Alan's excellent page on this data from now on. It is more beautiful and
easier to navigate than the one I have.

This site reminded me of a small issue with frames. I want the left column
type to be bigger at times according to the tiredness of my eyes. Easy
enough, I just hit command and + and everything goes up comfortably. But I
have either forgotten or never knew how to increase the size of the fonts in
just one frame. And when I did increase all, the top frame got obscured (the
frame being specified absolutely) - easily fixed by dragging the frame
border down. On windows PCs are there right click type ways of increasing
just some frame fonts?

(I think I just have always *liked* frames a lot, they are a nice toy! I
once made a home site with many sections and then, for the heck of it, made
one page in which the whole of my site could be seen without jumping
anywhere else off the page. Of course, one needed to use scroll bars like a
mad thing and be patiently dragging borders about... I just played with it,
I did not hear - yes, I know, it's sad - if anyone else in the world saw
it.)
