- Doing an *index* I use the Edit:Find to select one after another of the
- index markers for further edits. It is not always easy to spot the cursor
- highlighting the marker -- a problem when I get disoriented and try to
- figure out what the marker is supposed to refer to, what is the surrounding
- text?
-
- Since the 15" color monitor is too small to view the Find box as well as
- the Marker box without obscuring the view of the page -- it can be hard to
- figure out where the cursor/highlighted marker is.
-
- Is there a way to teach Frame to make the markers be a color different from
- the text, and another color when selected? What is the point of a color
- display if it is only monochrome (and fuzzy at that!)?

- Environment: 486 x 33 MHz, Dos 5.0, Windows 3.1, Stealth driver, 1024 x 768
- display.

- Any suggestions gratefully welcomed; thanks.
