    Fleabyte is putting Simon's D3E to the test. See www.fleabyte.org Click on
    D3E forum in menu bar. Please, give it a whirl, give it a try...

    I am toying with the idea also of applying D3E to pages with individual
    articles. Wonder how that suits Simon. Capacity problems? That may well be
    the better way to go.

    In the contents page, I gave the center column a minimum width of 400 pixels.
    That ought to make reading the page a little easier. Compare that with some
    other pages of the e-journal.

    Thanks, Simon, for shepherding me through some minor conundrums.

    Henry

    Fleabyte is meant to be experimental and I am looking forward to trying out
    other ideas as well.
