If i remember correctly, if you set the console handler into RAW mode (which you do by sending a IO request to the handler) you can then just write a certain ANSI sequence to the handler (by just doing a printf) the console will (since it acts like an ANSI terminal) send back a text string which tells you the width and height (in characters) of the console. I have code which does all this, but I don't have it with me now on this machine. Let me know if you really want it and I can send it to you.. (although I have problems with file transfers - but I can give it a try if you want.) Duncan Thomson
