That's true .. just like a vertical scroll bar is really unnecessary for a buffer which fits entirely in its window... > For most > people, it seems that horizontal scroll-bars would only be used in > vertically split windows.

The latest "big changes" I made allow vertical scroll bars to be configured "per-window" and "per-buffer"; of course, vertical scroll bars should be equally flexible. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
