Chris-

The major change from the previous patch is that I sub-section-ified the 
preferences section and added all the preferences.

I'll send in the images separately, I'm working on them now.  It seems I 
am incapable of changing the window manager border color in RH9 (does 
anyone know how to do it?), so the new images may have green borders 
instead of blue.  What do you think about that?  I can gimp-ically 
change the green to blue if it is a problem.

Oh, the addition of the sub-sections to the prefs will require an update 
to the help-index... I'll send that in a separate patch.

-Jon

PS: I'm sending the patch in .gz form b/c there are some long lines.  Is 
that okay?  I think if I send in in text format mozilla (my email 
client) likes to word wrap the lines.  I know that it sucks like this, 
though, because then it isn't simple to see the patch...
