Tried to mail to you, but it bounced - sorry to trouble the net.

Cameron is right about the scrolling window. HC 2.0 also allows you to set 
the card size for the cards in a stack. You can set any custom size you 
like (from about 1" sq. to about 18" sq.), or choose from a set of 
standard sizes (9" screen, 12" screen, and so on). But note that *all* the 
cards in a stack must be the same size.
