It should be obvious that it is better to have the vertical scrollbar on the left side, because there is more text on the left side than the right and because it is more common to want to access the beginning of a line than the end. Bill Gates puts scrollbars on the right so that the window will seem more like the page of a written book. This makes no sense, but it's done that way so that windows users won't be afraid. That's fine. Why can't I persuade xemacs to put the vertical scrollbar on the left side, where I want it? I can't find any option, or documentation for one, anywhere on the xemacs web site. There is a way with emacs, but it's not in their menus either. daveA -- Free download of technical exercises worth a lifetime of practice: http://www.openguitar.com/dynamic.html :::: You can play the cards you're dealt, or improve your hand with DGT.
