I['ve had no trouble running XyIII+ and IV in a full screen either in Win
98 or Win ME. In the properties box that comes up when you right click the
shortcut,



under Run, choose Normal Window

under Font, choose Both Font Types, 8 x12

Under Screen,  choose Full Size, and Initial Size Default.


Going in and out of graphics view doesn't make any difference.  My only suggestion
is that in the SETTINGS.DFL file that's loaded on startup, you might want
to try fiddling around a bit with the screen length command (which may not
appear there -- it doesn't in mine -- and will have to be added). The default
is 25 lines;  the example given on p 35 of the Customization Guide reads


df sl=44.
