> It takes some skill to set all this up.

ZTW64.exe /ZB
ZPreview.32.exe

That wasn't too hard was it?

> I haven't used ZAAPs in years.

To quote "Green Eggs And Ham" by Dr. Seuss.

[Sam-I-am]
Do you like green eggs and ham?

[Un-named character]
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham.

Would you like them
Here or there?

I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am

...

You do not like them.
So you say.
Try them! Try them!
And you may.
Try them and you may I say.

Un-named character tries green eggs and ham

I do so like green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you, Sam-I-am

I used to use this poem as the icebreaker in the Introduction to PCs courses that I ran. The idea being that people who say they do not like computers (or ZAAPs) should give them a go as they may find that they do like them.

> My ZEP is about slightly improving Alt+I, which is a standard part of ZTree.

The problem with ALT+I, as you pointed out, is that it is inside the ZTree window so it will always obscure part of the ZTree information and even more so if it's width is increased as you and others have suggested.

ZPreview's Info window can be positioned outside the ZTree window so nothing is hidden. It is even, as much as I dislike it, partially transparent so it could be positioned inside the ZTree window.
