Guy's right about philosophy.  In the very earliest days of Andrew,
there was a strong "anti-paper" bias -- that's when they traded the
acronym WYSIWYG for WYSLRN (What You See Looks Real Neat).  The fact
that the screen was always paramount and paper was an afterthought, and
that objects were supposed to be very dynamic in their response to their
window size, is probably the underlying cause of Andrew's historical
problems with tabs & printing.  Not that it excuses anything, but it
does help to explain it.
