Helo, All.

Anybody know how to make horizontal and vertical scrolling
for whole desktop(framebuffer)(for all TUI GUI Desktops) in n-o, as it is in X Window or
some NT(tm) videodrivers? This may be useful for users with old
monitors without affecting spirit of big screen.
(* And in addition:
Sorry, but mailing list content divided into two stream:
a) ask about some definite topic and b) idle talk about marketing
issues.
IMHO for attracting new users ( if this goal is at all )
is more better publish all documentation in one tree in Oberon site
as html (most of potentially users have web-browser :)),than extend
support for various mouses.
Now part of documentation is on paper in books, part hidden in articles, part
in ps files. It is in dependence with copyright, of course, but may be
one source is possible?
And other problem with documentation including in installation is it intermediate level.
It is not for full dummies, but not contain a lot of algorithmic
grounds (source not give all grounds and not quite readable even by
Oberon language ), especially in kernel.
This make some difficulties for non-purposeful or busy user :( ,but:
I think developers in ETH have not enough lifetime to
support this users: it is their lifetime.*)
