Lines: 20 Here's and idea that is so useful I'm almost certain someone must have implemented it. The various editors and word processors I've seen running - I think on MaciIntosh - have the ability to browse thru the file by moving a little "slide bar" on the side of the display-window. (The slide bar is "grabbed" by placing the mouse's arrow over it, clicking, and sliding it up and down.) Couldn't a general paginator be written using the same technique for scrolling back and forth through the file? (Have I described this adequately?) If you've seen something like this for the Amiga let me know.
