So, it makes perfect sense (at least to me) to zoom the window to $defwidth. It would not make sense to me, to zoom the window to the (very wide) fullscreen width, while the text lines are only 75 characters long under ProFont 9pt. Anyway, this is all under personal preference, and all dependant to the user's monitor size. It would be difficult to choose the default behaviour that fits the more majority of users, though... (The decision is up to the maintainer of 'win.tcl', I guess. :) At least, I would again support the idea of renaming 'singlePage' to 'defaultSize'. Mark -- Mark Nagata nagata@kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp
