I agree that it sort of `makes sense', but one thing I do find annoying is
that the _up_ indicator switches between left and right depending on whether
it's `beginning of file' or an up-arrow.  I think it would makes sense to put
the up-arrow also on the right; I find glancing at those indicators when
scrolling, and putting them in the same spot would make my glancing a lot
easier... :-)

Another small issue is that I'd like the arrows to be even more distinct from
the bof/eof indicators than they are now, to make quick recognition easier;
perhaps just adding a another row  of pixels to the vertical line inthe
bof/eof indicators would do th job.

BTW, I'll join the crowd in saying thanks, Kim!  This stuff is very nice.

output normally!]

Thanks,
