- Why not get the GNU stty program, and then make a script to start emacs, so
- that when you exit emacs (or kermit, if *that* is the trouble) your size
- gets reset:
-
- #!/bin/sh
- /usr/local/bin/emacs $*
- /usr/local/bin/stty rows howmanyrows cols howmanycols
-
- *shrug* This works for me after logging into a remote site and having my
- tty size set to 80x25.
