No. You have to do a mode command from the OS/2 command line. Emacs will use whatever size the screen is. For instance, to get 50 lines, do a "MODE 80,50" prior to loading emacs. In a window, all sessions are 80 columns, but in text mode you can use whatever mode your display allows (I can MODE 132,44 with my ATI VGA Wonder). Emacs will use any size OS/2 allows. If you're already running emacs, you can shell to the OS/2 command line (via CTRL-Z), give the mode command, and exit back to emacs. Emacs will use the new screen size. -- |) David Charlap "I don't even represent myself /|_ dic5340@hertz.njit.edu sometimes so NJIT is right out!. ((|,) ~|~ Hi!
