- That's not a bug, it's a feature... No, honestly, it is an annoying detail
- which is very simple to "fix": On DECterm, click on the Window Options and
- select Auto Resize Terminal, Auto Resize Window and Terminal Driver Resize.
- This will make DECterm resize itself to the maximum possible lines (and/or
- columns) if you try to set a higher value and report the value back to the
- driver.
-
- Your applications, like TPU and others wanting to write in the last line(s),
- will then know you only got, say, 38 lines, not the 40 you asked for.
-
- Remember to save your settings afterwards.

- Cheers
