It would help to display _only_ the source code and have the other info as mouse-over, but that's not something a pager can do. It is a pity that the content can be columnized much worse than the metadata: otherwise it would make much more sense to display the content _first_ in line. The metadata is useless without the content anyway. -- David Kastrup
