The area below the Menu bar and Toolbar is divided into a number ofpanes. Each has a couple of tabs that determine which information isdisplayed or how it is displayed. The position of the tabs (bottom ortop) can be controlled via the Appearance tab in the Preferencesmenu. The panes can be collapsed and expanded by the small arrows onthe boundaries of the panes. When resizing the full OT applicationwindow only the main Editors pane will grow.
