Great — thanks! Now I see the preview, and my only problem is that it is
being fit inside a portrait letter-page like feature, which doesn't utilise
the entire space (though it gets resized upon resizing the pane and window). I
guess that's form over function...

Still, it seems to be good enough. Thanks again to Meir, Anton and the other
people who responded.
