12 A status bar is a narrow window that can be placed along the bottom of a frame
13 to give
14 small amounts of status information. It can contain one or more fields, one or
15 more of which can
16 be variable length according to the size of the window.

209 gets twice as much of it as a field with width -1 and so on.
210 For example, to create one fixed width field of width 100 in the right part of
211 the status bar and two more fields which get 66% and 33% of the remaining
