Re: directory screen

[Judith Davidsen jdavidsen@xxxxxxxx]

NW=1 works fine for me, so I didn't try Jordan's nw=4.

I couldn't find anything in the manuals on this--was looking
under directory rather than window. I guess I still can't
shake the belief that window is a word that has nothing to
do with Xy.

But thanks to Robert and Jordan.
