Mark -
That was a *great* idea, thanks so much for it.  The zoom-in key combo is
actually command&option& + (keypad + with number lock on), but it works at
the cost of some fuzzy-looking screen real estate.  If you promise that they
will come with tips like that, you can "improve" my name as many times as
you wish! <G>

³There are two great powers and they¹ve been fighting since time began.
Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency
we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little
increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who
want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to
obey and be humble and submit.²   Philip Pullman
