KNOWN PROBLEMS AND FIXES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aug 14 1996

On Windows platforms, HTML page parts cannot grow to be larger than the
display, due to a restriction in Windows.  A fix is provided in the file
WINSHELL.ST, which you should filein.

With this fix, you can toggle between using the embedded shell window
that is normally used to display pages, or use the composite view to
display pages.  The composite view does NOT have the size restriction
that the shell has.  However, the composite view does not support
displaying the title bar, background images and background color.  The
title bar text can be edited from the HTML page's settings page.

To toggle between the shell and composite view, issue the following
message from the System Transcript

   AbtHtmlPage useCompositeView: aBoolean

Using true for the aBoolean parameter will cause the composite view to
be used.  Using false will cause the shell view to be used.  The
default after loading the fix is to use the shell view.
