Dumptruk (great handle!),

This is only circumstantially a solution, but correct none-the-less, a solution for now. The splitbars which are dragable were an experiment in fitting everything into limited vertical space and will likely have some role in the final outcome, but are implemented imperfectly right now. I was thinking that the lower splitbar would not even be visible (and thus not grabable) in 1024x768 resolution screens - the user must go to the main Analysis screen. An alternative is a button or key (or automatically) resizing the visible panels (i.e. 2 or 3) according to how many pacelines exist. If there are the maximum 10 lines, on 768 height screens likely only 2 panels will ever be visible (and workable).

For now, drag the splitbars if you wish, but I think this will be frustrating. I'll try to get my hands on a widescreen aspect video display and do some 'resize' coding so that at least 2 full panels show up on it.

Thanks for the tip, Dumptruk - you hit the ground running!
