I haven't created a simple configuration option for that, and you're the 
first to ask for it. But the shell itself is programmable, so this will 
narrow the left margin, at least for the current session:

>>> shell.SetMarginWidth(1, 0)

The shell object is actually an instance of a "facade" that simplifies the 
options displayed. To see all the options for the "real" shell object, 
type:

>>> shell.other.

Then you'll see an autocomplete list of the available attributes and 
methods. The example I gave you is equivalent to:

>>> shell.other.SetMarginWidth(1, 0)

What docs? "Insert your favorite reference to the children of shoemakers 
here." <wink>
