- I like to run Wordstar in 50 line mode. To do this, I have to run something
- like NCC first. I have the two in a batch file and that batch file is
- attached to my Wordstar program object.
-
- My problem is that the DOS window opens at 80x25 and then NCC switches it
- to 50 line mode and I get scrollbars (_Horizontal_ and Vertical for some odd
- reason). Then Wordstar kicks in. I then have to resize the window manually
- (I hold down shift!) and then I have to change the font from 14x8 to 10x8.
-
- The next time I run Wordstar I have to go through the exact same
- sequence. I have no idea how to persuade OS/2 to start with a bigger
- window and if I click on SAVE when changing the font, all my DOS sessions
- change which makes other things far too small.
-
- In other words I want to
- a) Make OS/2 open a larger DOS window than 80x25 for this program only
- b) Use a smaller font for this program only.
-
- Anyone know how to do either?
