Ah!  Thank you, thank you!

My new changeset is at

<http://www.cse.ogi.edu/cse504/programs/AccessorCodeGen.st> and I 
have stripped out some of STP's code that wasn't being used.  This 
now seems to work, and I humbly submit it as an useful extension to 
the browser.

I'm still not very happy with my initialExtent method, though.

!AccessorPreferences methodsFor: 'displaying' stamp: 'apb 12/29/1999 11:35'!
initialExtent

	^ 340 @ ((rows min: 12) * 19 + 35)! !

Too many magic numbers!  The rows min: 12 calculation is intended to 
leave room for at most 11 instance variables and the header; more 
than that and the user uses the scrollbar.  But I would like to be 
able to ask the scrollpane what the width of its submorphs are, and 
what the height of the window frame is, rather than putting in 340 
and 35.  I couldn't even get the height of a row by asking it (I got 
40 as the answer); the magic number 19 came from the explorer.

I would have thought that shrinkwrap would do something like what I want.

Oh, and in MVC, it still makes a much too large window.  Despite 
using the same initialExtent ...

So, if I understand this right, fullBounds is the space that I want 
to occupy on the screen, or more generally in the enclosing morph. My 
fullBounds might be
	(1) the same as my bounds (often)
	(2) bigger than my bounds, if some submorphs extend beyond
             my bounds.
	(3) smaller than bounds (never?)

When I'm asked for my fullBounds, I would normally ask all of my 
submorphs what their fullBounds are, and answer the smallest 
enclosing rectangle.  But if, for example, I'm a vertical scrollPane, 
I might give a smaller (in height) answer, because I can scroll to 
make the cropped morphs visible.

If this is right, it seems that bounds should be private.  I might, 
or might not, use my bounds in calculating my fullBounds, but no 
other object should ask for my bounds.

Please correct me where I'm wrong!
