long target names in xref dialog

[Dave Reynolds]

I have used Resource Hacker with Frame 6 and 8 to resize various dialog 
boxes, including the cross reference dialog.  It's a very useful tool. 
And, yes, back up the fmdlg.dll before messing with it.  Just in case!  
Let me know if you need any help with this.

Cheers

Dave
