- Yes, that's right. All OS/2 text windows are the same size, and all DOS
- windows are the same size.

- You can achieve the effect you want, though, by using memsize
- (memsz151.zip in pub/os2/all/sysutils on ftp-os2). It is a PM
- application, so can set its own individual size. It displays a number
- of different system parameters, including the current swap file size,
- the date/time, the free space an each of your hard drives, the amount
- of free memory, and others that I can't remember. Each can be selected
- individually, so if you just want a one-line box showing the swap file
- size (or even better, the amount of space left on the swap drive),
- just deselect all the other options. You can even turn off the window
- title line, so you really only have a single line displayed.
