make more space available for store proc editing

A suggestion for the Microsoft folks (those who have access to them can
forward?):
when editing stored proc from EM, the screen estate is vastly wasted. Some
of us don't care, some of us do care about this. For those who don't care,
they should not have much to object the idea of making more screen space
accessible. So if you folks in the future could reduce the blank space and
convert it to space displaying code, I am one of those who would applaud.

Use Query Analyzer. Press F8, you can right-click a stored procedure and
hit Edit (or script to new window as create, if you like to drop/create all
your objects).
You can even run only sections of code from this interface (by highlighting
only the relevant portions), test and debug, and - wow - you aren't stuck in
modal mode, so you can actually look at other stored procedures, other
servers, tables, etc. while you are working on a proc.
Enterprise Manager is not really meant for development, but more for
Enterprise Management, hence the name.
A|||Thanks Aaron.
I'm thinking making more space available for EM stored proc editing does not
hurt anyone and some benefit from it.

I understand, however I'm suggesting a workaround, because you're not going
to see any changes to the client tools in SQL Server 7.0/2000.
