Actually, a 120-wide window is mostly a bigger waste of space since *most* code easily fits in 80 columns (remember, average line length is 30!). Folding the occasional long line is much better use of resources than stretching the window to accommodate it. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
