I found this program on a local BBS. The program is called
'morerows'. It modifies preferences allowing you to (assuming your monitor
can handle it) make the workbench screen physically larger. The program
should be called from a CLI or shell. Without arguments it displays the
current 'additional' rows and columns. The BBS text got munged so I don't
know the author, but the program can also take arguments:
morerows -rows 35 -columns 64
Seems to give the best results says the text file. This means you
get 235 (470) rows by 664 columns on a normal display. After you run the
command, you must run preferences:
preferences
(Move the screen to the upper left hand corner as far as it will go)
(SAVE to disk)
Reboot the machine (Ctl-A-A)
I.E. 'morerows' relies on preferences to save the information to
disk so your boot does the right thing. Note that once you reboot, you can
use preferences again to center the enlarged screen properly. Using the
example above, my new workbench screen's columns barely fit on my Sony
monitor, and the rows go off the bottom (whoopie!). The best thing about
this is that now I can have 80 columns in normal windows!.
HAVE FUN!
