Thanks guys. I actually found mc myself and got it installed and up an running. I found the editor after I got LeafPad running. Being the total, clueless, not-wanting-to-learn-anything-and-I-do-mean-anything-just-make-it-work-you-nerds newbie I think I like LeafPad better.

YUP, Yup, yup! vi works now. Thanks again guys. Think I'll still use LeafPad though. I'm so much more comfortable in a GUI.

I think it's quite clear to everybody that there is no chance in hell of you ever fitting into the category in which you are trying to put yourself.

The other option is to include in your user CSS page a redefinition of the font sizes, so your zoom stays at 100%, but the text is bigger.

I've not looked into this, but something like the following, based on my existing instructions:

Code:

/* <pre><nowiki>*/
@import url("http://www.bleb.org/software/770/wikipedia/myskin.css");

p {
    font-size: 125%;
}

/* </nowiki></pre> */

Untested, YMMV.

HTH,

Andrew

Thanks Andrew,
I tried that, and it worked. Actully because of the extreem age of my eyeballs, I used 180%.

The results were somewhat less than acceptable as some text would be magnified, but others would not. I'm not sure of the reason, but it seemed to have something to do with footnotes. Having some text magnified and other text not REALLY screwed the page layout. I'll be undoing the edit later today when I have a break.

Yeah, you'll need to look at the CSS to see which other styles need doing - as I said "something like the following" ;-)

You could also try replacing "p {" with "body {", whether that'll be better or worse, I've no idea.

Thanks again Andrew,

I'll give it a try.

The last programming I've done was on the afore mentioned PDP-11 44 in DEC Basic about 25 years ago, so the difference between "p" and "body" is completely lost on me.

Most bodacious!!

It works great! HGTG is up and running an legible w/o hitting the zoom buttons.

Now if I could just figger out how to make it come up full screen.
