- Yes there is. Use "morerows". Tell morerows how many added rows and
- columns of resolution you want. You can get up to 704x480, I think. Thus:
-
- morerows -rows 40 -columns 64
- ^^---- this is "40" because morerows uses added
- non-interlaced scan lines, or sets of interlaced
- scan lines.
-
- Will give you a 704x240 or 704x480 Workbench, depending on whether
- "interlace" is turned on in the Preferences or not. After executing this
- command, you go Preferences and immediately hit "save" without messing with
- anything else. Then just reboot. After that, the Workbench will always come
- up in 704x480 or 704x240.
