New to group -- ? about DSC QP6 Kit



I appreciate the group's existence.  I have read a lot of the posts
and I think I will learn a lot by just being able to read and exchange
postings.  I do have a couple of questions.

How do I get the new post screen to be full width so that I don't
to hit a end-of-line Return key in order to keep the text in the
viewable area of the screen?  I have not had to do that since
I last operated a KSR-33 Teletype Terminal in the 70's.

Is there any way the forum owner can change the lay out at the
bottom of the new post screen?  I took a long time to write and then
edit a previous version of this message and then, while trying to
"tab-over" as an indentation, I accidentally skipped to the "Post
Message" button and whoops!, it was gone.  Maybe, if you can put
at least one intermediary box in between the last text in a new post
and the "Post Message" box, dolts like me would not post an
incomplete posting and not be able to find it to edit it.

I am about to have a home alarm system installed by a pro dealer.
They will be installing a DSC QP6-1-433 Kit.  To make a long
story (my original post was more detailed and much longer) short,
can anyone tell me:

1.  What is in the kit, ie., exactly which components?
2.  Is this kit an older product?  I can't find it anywhere on the DSC
site or in any DSC literature.
3.  Do I need to try to get my dealer to change to another DSC kit?

Opinions are great, but I would really appreciate feedback from
those who are very familiar with this kit and/or how DSC markets
such a kit.

>From what I have read on this forum and at other sites, I suspect
the kit is out of production by as long as a year or two.  I see the
current kits are something like the 632 or 832 or Kit-120.

I have subsequently purchased a chunk of additional DSC and
compatible components and sensors and I do not want to go to
the hassle and expense to have the QP6 kit and all the additional
items installed and then find out the components are no longer
supported by DSC or my dealer. (Note that I do realize this kind of
crap happens and seems to happen fairly regularly with DSC.)

Any informative feedback, especially the detailed listing of the
kit contents would be appreciated.

Thanks
