- Minor correction: leave out the "co". Just do a "mode 80,32".
-
- In text mode, you can choose from 25, 32, 43, 50, and 60 lines (on a
- VGA). In a window, you can choose any number of lines from (I think)
- 10 to 102. If the number of lines is too big for the window size,
- scroll bars will appear.
-
- Anyhow, if you shell out of emacs (^Z) and do a "mode" command, and
- later "exit" back to emacs, you'll find that emacs adjusts to the new
- screen size.
-
- On my ATI VGA-1024 card, I normally run my OS/2 full screen sessions
- in 132x44 text mode, and emacs works just fine that way. I just do a
- "mode 132,44" before starting emacs.
