   I am too impatient to enlarge, start Golded, rinse, repeat to find the limit   
   where things break...   
      
   BUT   
      
   On my 26-50" screens full screen terminals will break golded starting, period,   
      
   THere is a patch:   
   https://fidonet.ozzmosis.com/echomail.php/golded/37e10bdf0c33c539.html   
      
   The patch below fixes a bug where a very wide terminal causes GoldED to crash:   
      
   ---------- Fri 21 Nov 14, GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20130910 (Nov 16 2014 22:19:02)   
   ! 23:02:48 Memory error at [gemlst.cpp,365].   
   ! 23:02:48 gsprintf(buffer,256,%-5.5s%s%-*.*s %-*.*s%s%-*.*s %s,...):   
   buffer overflow (need 381 bytes).

   Which does let wide terminals work... I've done it to all the ones of   
   recent... and works.

   ONLY FOR READING   
      
   If you reply the internal editor barfs and seg faults... for probably similar   
   reasons... but I just don't have time to dig through to find its buffer to   
   enlarge it.
