Presently there is no way to scroll left and right AFAIK.

On the MapPort of the mud I play you can see the entire map of the whole world... Unfortunately its far larger than my screen, and the only way I can view it all is if I put my font down to size 4.

So, perhaps there is a way we can make it so we can scroll left and right?

There is no left-right scrollbar because that would take up screen space, and the whole idea of the program (well, not the *whole* idea) is to wrap output at the edge so you don't need to scroll all the time.

However if there is a really big map, and if you set up the screen width to be very wide, you can select it, copy it, and paste to a Notepad window (the internal notepad).

If, before doing this, you go to the general preferences and turn off "word wrap" in the Notepad tab, you will get a horizontal scroll bar, and can scroll sideways.

Alternatively, just use another word processor (eg. the Windows Notepad) as I presume the map doesn't change every minute.
