[WEB4LIB] Re: text size in IE 5+

[Rachel Singer Gordon]

This happens on my home machine and on a number of them at work -- IE
5.5 and Win98SE. A second window will always launch with the
"smaller" font if I am loading another program at the same time or
occasionally if something intensive (java, whatever) is still loading
in the first IE window when I hit ^N. I just added the text size
button to the toolbar so that it's easily changed back.
