>Keywords list, links to bibliography, text that identifies the

>window could be resized and assure that all of the objects would
>relocate and resize in ways that are pleasing to the eye. We're

>meantime, we'll be adding some additional screen sizes in the
>upcoming incremental releases, and we'd be delighted to hear from you
>what you'd like to see in these interfaces.]
