hello,

my pov used to run so that a section of the message window
peeked out from my pov file when rendering, usually revealing
just enough to show me an error message, if the render failed.

but now when i render i have to click on the message window
to see whats going on... a section no longer appears at the
bottom.

how do i get that back?  i looked under options/message
window and it shows color, font, back color, plain back, and
tiling options.  none of these seemed to do it.

i tried dragging up the bottom of the window away from the
frame... no luck there.

thanks, miker
