	Makes sense.  Won't get in to style preferences.

	Agreed.

	Second test:

		View button refreshes without category breakdowns.  Is this "per design"?

	ie. after selecting a category (left click), breakdown of category is displayed. eg. Admin has 
two packages associated with it, cron and cygrunsrv.  If View button is again pressed, cron and 
cygrunsrv are lost in the list of all packages.

	Sure, they are still listed, but you have to go hunt for them.  You can get back to category 
view by hitting View button until category listing comes up.

Horizontal extensions of window:

	For most part this is fine, several exceptions include "ctags", "ghostscript", (SSMTP 
already noted -- no me toos' ;-)), "texinfo", "which" and possibly "automake" package descriptions,  
(view all) which are in window buffer but beyond right horizontal border of window (NT4 
Wks/1024x768) by about 5 or 6 characters...possibly 10.

	ie. the entire description is not being accomodated (NT4 Wks).  Suggestion, extend 
horizontal window borders to larger default size (I am using 1024x768 resolution) by increasing 
width of window by about 5 or 6 characters.

	Horizontal Scrolling works fine.

Vertical extensions of window:

		Vertical scrolling works fine.
