Scrolling and windows
Scroll a long page, and open, move, resize and close windows.
Planned. This module is part of the plan and is not written yet.
Why it matters
Lessons and stories are often longer than the screen; scrolling finds the rest, and tidy windows mean your work never gets lost behind something else.
