Yes.  But I have at last realised that this JavaScript re-sizing can
never work under all necessary circumstances.

I want the pages to display well when read (or copied) from a transfer
USB memory stick, using an ordinary PC with only what Windows supplies,
though maybe using another browser instead.  And I'd rather not rely on
it having a UK keyboard, or a keyboard driver that matches the keyboard.

Therefore I cannot rely on using
        Iframe.contentDocument.documentElement.scrollHeight
because when reading from a local drive Chrome, at least, considers that
to be forbidden by the Same Origin Policy.

Therefore I intend, as author, to continue using Firefox, in which the
Same Origin Policy is more sensibly implemented, with "Iframe includes"
and "contentDocument", but with the Iframe height initially being set to
an initially suitable amount.  Provided that the refusal of
contentDocument is silently trapped, that version will be non-ideal but
distributable.

And I have it in mind to write a pre-processor, in Windows Script Host
JavaScript, which will read file ????WXYZ.HTM, read and insert the
includes that it contains, recursively, and write file ????WXYZ.$HTM;
the (MS-DOS Batch) transfer program can easily be persuaded to omit the
"$".
