What is supposed to happen when you resize ANY tabItem is that all of them
get the new size. It used to work that way <grin> but I guess I messed it up
somewhere. The TabControl will get the properties of the tabItems. Since
they should all be the same size, it didn't matter which one it used. Since
I've flubbed keeping them all the same size, if the first one is smaller,
then the others get chopped off. I'll take a look at it today. When you look
at Properties of TabItem, that is the TabControl's properties.

This is a new feature. I like to know where column 72 is for print purposes.
You can remove or change the gray line with Options/Ruler. It should be
there on Normal size also.

I could add a horizontal scrollbar, but right now you can use the right
arrow key to move into the next panel. I don't want to even touch any
word-wrap concept!

I know about the left side; I want to be sure I've got the right side nailed
before I add a bunch more code.

That is interesting. The routine is the same regardless of the window size.
The version I uploaded this morning stops moving the mouse a pixel to the
left of the scrollbar which I thought would prevent the mouse and scrollbar
from bothering one another. I'll give it another look.
