Could DT be set up to remember your last position when viewing a document, much like Nautilus & Finder remember where you were when scrolling through folders?
That way you can go back and forward between two documents and not have to scroll back.
Or if you’re reading a lengthy document you can come back later and easily remember your place.
As a side note, if you keep supporting Panther for the next few revisions, I’ll buy you a delicious sandwich.
This would make a world of difference to me, too - see my post from last week (Improving Composing in DN/DT). It’s a common feature in other similar applications, and (in my view) an essential one.
