What is a viking monitor?(with a gfx card too i would assume)

(Bob, please don't take this as a flame on you. Its not)
I'e just learned somethin' usefull:
	If your'e not sure what the discussion is about, go
	back and read the original post + a few followups!

My needs were a bit different than VT100's. I want a window of whatever
size, and I will make stuff fit into it. VT100 wants the window to fit the
contents. Either way there is no need to open maximum size window.

Unless there are some hidden fields somewhere, and unless you have
another window open (and your'e sure yours will open with the same
font) then I think your best bet is to guess, then call Resize window
if you guessed wrong, and then add your applications gadgets.
Unless the system is loaded, that should not cause much hashing of the
display.

A question: If you don't already have a window open, then you probly
dont need to have a screen open yet, so just open your screen behind,
and bring it to front after the window is just right.
