- No. You have to do a mode command from the OS/2 command line. Emacs
- will use whatever size the screen is. For instance, to get 50 lines,
- do a "MODE 80,50" prior to loading emacs. In a window, all sessions
- are 80 columns, but in text mode you can use whatever mode your
- display allows (I can MODE 132,44 with my ATI VGA Wonder). Emacs will
- use any size OS/2 allows.
-
- If you're already running emacs, you can shell to the OS/2 command
- line (via CTRL-Z), give the mode command, and exit back to emacs.
- Emacs will use the new screen size.
