I think the window scrolling (vertical and horizontal) for the Macintosh
could be signifigantly improved by the simple trick of turning the arrows
at the left,right and up,down margins into double-headed arrows. In this
way, one would not have to move the mouse the entire screen simply to reverse
the direction of scrolling, one would only have to click on the relevant
part of the double arrow. Still another alternative would be to keep the
double arrows near the box used for resizing the window. Then all the
window manipulation icons would be close to each other. I keep finding it
a pain to slide the mouse up and down or side to side an entire page simply
to bring a line or two into position.
