Thanks. The manual is tough since the functions are listed alphabetically, and not by categorical purpose. But that would be hard to do I guess.
As far as using code to change the panes, well I guess it would be good if the windowing structures of AP had scripting hooks, so that the panes could be set through script, in terms of their dimensions. Should be doable using Win32 messages coming from a loaded plugin DLL, but that would be uber hackey.
Thanks again for the encouragement. I am back to the manual to meditate :)

As it is now, I have to go one by one and jigger them to try to eyeball the height and it never comes out right and it just ends up displacing the ones before and after it. Is there some way to make them all equidistant/ height?

I say yes, and then when I try to load the custom version, it seems to be blank. Should I create a fresh AFL script from scratch rather than modify a pre-existing one? Is that how most people do it?
