I work with Firebug fairly regularly - which is how I got as far as the 
"greybox" scripts, but nothing appears to define height in finite terms.  I 
found a "100%" and tried a few different values to no avail; also a 
"height=300" -- but 400 did not cure the problem.  I also tried adding a 
css bottom-margin, but no joy.  When I got to the "yui" scripts (all lines 
run together), I decided to write to the experts here :)

 From past experience with web-gui interfaces, I *thought* (but am more 
than happy to be proven wrong) that browsers defaulted to enclose/show all 
elements and that height had to be specifically defined to override the 
default.  That's what I was looking for.

btw, is there a quick CLI to restart Koha without rebooting?

tnx and br - paul
