- Actually, no, but I haven't been able to get 80-column 'normal' text at all.
- Most of the menu selections for TOSWIN are greyed out on my machine (mostly
- those to the right of the menu bar). The Font selection uses 'point sizes'
- for some reason (rather than 6x6, etc.). The default on a color monitor
- appears to be 10 point, with the smaller choice being 8 point. Perhaps the
- action is different between monochrome and color monitors?
-
- In any case, it appears I can go from 2/3" to 1/2" high characters and a scroll
- region which doesn't (scroll, that is...) unless one uses the window's
- elevator.
-
- Perhaps some of the configuration information which is read in needs to be
- changed?
