    The Prerequisites box is much smaller in English.  It appears that
the reason the Russian translation is so large is that you are including
both the English and Russian text.  Why don't you drop the English?  The
Shift-F1 boxes are that size because we want to be able to tell the user
how to use each of the widgets without leaving anything out.  I hate
making a user crank up a browser to read instructions.  The largest one
I have is the scenes help and it fits within the JAMin main screen. 
Remember, these aren't meant to be on the screen for long periods of
time.  You're supposed to read them, learn how to use the tool, and then
close them.  You can leave them up for a while but if the user has to
have them up constantly I think they need to consider a new hobby ;-)
