Michael, One think I wishPageStream would do would be to allow the resizing of a group by means of the Edit Coordinates reequester. It can be done by using the mouse, but it is tricky to maintain the aspect ratio. Font selector – With several hundred fonts installed, I find it a pain stepping through a long list every time to select a font that is low down in the alphabet. It would help if the slider 'remembered' where it had been so that the next time I opened the font selector, the last font I selected would be in the window. What I'd like though would be to have some kind of 'directory' structure to the font list. AREXX support is a MUST. This would allow me to write programs that generated bar charts, pie charts, etc starting from raw data. More flexibility in selecting font sizes – e.g. the ability to have text that gets progressively smaller as you read along it. (Without having to specify the size of each and every character.) The ability to bend text around a curve. See-through pattern fills – so I can put one pattern on another and see both where they overlap. Screen re-draw on/off switch. It's a real pain having to wait when I'm making a load of minor changes and don't need to have the screen redrawn after each one. Make it easier to move around a page with high magnification. Suppose you have three columns of text on a screen, magnified up 800%, you're near the top of the left hand column and need to go to near the bottom of the right hand column… and you don't want to wait for the screen to be redrawn during the intermediate steps of getting there.
