I would like to know if the PWB in MSC 6.0a can be set up to display 50 lines
on a VGA screen.  I have set up Codeview to do this, can the same be done for
the editor?

On a related note, I thought of going into 50-line mode before entering the
editor, but I couldn't get the MODE command to work.  It insists that ANSI.SYS
is needed, but I have it loaded in my CONFIG.SYS.  I tried putting the DEVICE
line at the beginning and end of CONFIG.SYS, putting DRIVER.SYS in, loading
code pages, all sorts of things.  Any ideas?

I am running on a Commodore PC 60-III (25 MHz 386) with MS-DOS 4.01.
