Experiment with the 28 and 43 line setting. I run at 25 so I can't remember whether you have to set both XY screen and issue a mode con command, one or the either or neither.I get 43 lines without any MODE CON usage.You mean the desktop behind a resized TAME window? Or two NTVDM sessions plus the desktop? Does Process Explorer show two NTVDM sessions?Good question. And you could try killing one NTVDM. Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx
