Hank and Drew,

The only thing I can think of is that you must be associating the width 
control to a 'peaking' control where the peak becomes more narrow as the 
control is advanced (reminiscent of the old Q-multiplier controls).  
That is not a 'width' control in my mind.  I feel the width control is 
exactly right as it is - turn left for less width, turn right for more 
width - that seems quite conventional to me.

73,
