Re: cutting and pasting from Xy(XXX) to email proggies

" This is a known problem and has been discussed before on the list. TTG seems not
" to care about bugs so I've been using NB whenever I need to copy more than (I use

	A 'typical' screen is 22 lines x 80 characters
	= 1760 characters. 22 lines is about half
	a printed page (55 lines or so).
	
	Why not make the screen show more lines?
	XyDos can be set for more lines that 22 shown,
	assuming you are using cut and paste from what's
	visible.
