The CVS tag version had gotten quite out-of-date. It's undocumented and intentionally hard to type, but maybe someone will start there and figure out a better solution to the problem. There's a big comment on it explaining why it's not such a great idea, but at the same time I know a handful of people have found it useful and were maintaining it themselves. I've recently moved to a 1024x768 laptop screen (from a large 1400x1050) and spent a half hour today making things fit better on my screen: smaller fonts, different acme.dump, etc. I also tried the $env tags again. They're a big win on the small screen. Folding tag lines might be sufficient in my case, but the $env tags are easier to implement. At least now I can run with multiple columns *and* see the Put verb in my tags. Russ
