I recently emailed the developer about adding some new features here's his
(abridged)reply:

You are welcome.

Unfortunately you are going to have to wait for PyPE 2.x for a change in
that behavior.  2.x will include major changes, among which will save
you from having to continually resize that pane.

Expect PyPE 2.x before January 1, 2005.
