   Odd Golded Question?

   Hello Richard,

   Here, if I use a a terminal window larger than what Golded seems to like    
   Golded  (After a restart) will use a portion of that window. If I make the   
   window larger than the display (The window extends off the screen) then the   
   Golded display is pretty much unreadable. And things like message date and   
   time are not displayed. And scrolling causes the Golded display to be garbled   
   and pretty much unreadable. I have found a terminal display setting that both   
   Golded and Linux seem to be happy with.

   That is pretty much what I see now with the terminal set to 132x39. Any larger   
   than that and Golded is unhappy.   
      
   >> As a sidenote. I have tried to use an edited version of the

   No error at all. I am simply returned to the terminal command prompt. If I use   
   the simple CFG file then Golded opens up fine. I am slowly adding necessary   
   keywords to see if and when Golded fails to load. I suspect that there is a   
   keyword that is causing the problem.
