That's for OXP.

This thread was about Winpoint.  We were discussing Winpoint's default  
full-screen effect of the editor.  Then you mentioned the line length can  
be modified.  I assumed we were still on a Winpoint trajectory.  :)

(..but you are talking about OXP.)   LOL

WRT OXP, yes... I like the many visual adjustments that can be made with  
it.
