Howdy,

A slider would be fine but there might be a display/entry box for the  
``extra boundary space'' in pt too so one could be more precise.

OT: have other folks on this list who use Tigerrrr had files that  
were left in /tmp/UID/ (actually /private/tmp/UID/) moved to UID's  
Trash on boot? This seemed to start happening on my system recently  
under 10.4.1. I use Macaroni so it may have something to do with how  
Macaroni is handling the daily cleanup.

Good Luck,
