...Whatever those programs look like and feel like. Given that this is
an Emacs group, it's reasonable to expect people to know Emacs, at least
a bit. But please, _describe_ these exotic unknown programs rather than
just referring to them. A lot of people here, possibly most, _don't_
know winedt and eclipse.

I think the man wants a horizontal scroll bar. I also have a sneaking
suspicion you're aware of this, David. ;-) I think a horizontal scroll
bar in Emacs would be popular, though I wouldn't enable it for myself.
