Sliding Divider-Resizer Object

[Gregory Lypny]

	Thank you, Eric and Craig, for your suggestions.  I'll try scripting  
it right off the bat as per your suggestion, Craig, then I'll take  
work through your tutorial, Eric, to see how I can improve it.  To  
answer your question, Craig, the combined height and width of the two  
fields is not constant, but that is not a problem because that sort of  
resizing is handled by the geometry manager whenever the stack is  
resized.

	Regards,

		Gregory
