[plt-scheme] hide "welcome to drscheme"

Hi,

Don't take this too seriously - 7 inch800x480 screens are unlikely to be a
common any time soon...

Good tip for a bit of extra vertical space -thanks

Though I wasn't clear - I meant the File (as is File, Edit View Language
Scheme, Insert Help) Menu goes off screen - it should scroll - but doesn't.
I believe that is a gnome  problem -rather than a drscheme problem, though
MS Word has less items in its menus.

there is a empty panel at the top in mine that doesn't help -see attached

Thanks for taking the time to look at this, but I wouldn't worry about it
too much (unless DrScheme is ported to mobile phones), and I can't imagine
jedit or bluej or eclipse doing any better.

Cheers,

Stephen
