- You don't need to change the font size, but if the window gets too
- big, you'll get scroll bars.

- Shouldn't that be
- MODE 80,45
- ???

- Yep. And if you shell out (CTRL-Z) and change the screen size before
- exitting back to emacs, emacs will work with the new screen size.
- It'll even use 132-column modes if you're in full-screen mode and have
- a video adapter that supports the mode. I normally use
- MODE 132,44
- for my full-screen OS/2 sessions.
