Just FYI the anomaly is that the full screen window is offset down and 
to the right, and with no title bar to latch on to it is hard to move 
the window  back to where it belongs.

Well, it works on the same pdf file in two locations: on Linux using 
Acrobat Reader 5.05, and on Win 98 SE using Acrobat Reader 5.1.
 
I guess I will have to ask some kind soul who has a newer Windows to 
test the function  for me on Acrobat Reader 6x. Any volunteers? 

Windows users are in the vast majority and hence the target market for 
the e-book I am crafting.

I tried to download Acrobat Reader 6.0 to the Win 98SE partition, but 
then it said I needed to upgrade Internet Explorer and that got into 
an endless loop and.... (I don't use Windows much!)

 So I downloaded Acrobat Reader 5.1 for Windows 98 via Linux (!) and 
moved it over to the Desktop folder on the Win partition. It works 
fine.
