ML> really? tell me how to get syncterm to respect a 50 line terminal   
    ML> setting... ok, what about a 132 column setting? i won't even ask about   
    ML> 132x50 since i know it can't do 80x50 :(   
      
    NB> Huh? You might want to take a look again, specifically in the   
    NB> dialing directory: Program Settings / Startup Screen Mode. Or it's   
    NB> able to be set specifically per entry in the dialing directory, as   
    NB> well.   
      
    ml> i've done that and it always jumps back to 80x25... even when it is   
    ml> specifically set to 80x50 or more...    
      
   and wouldn't you know it... i decided to beat on it again and be damned if i   
   didn't get it to work as desired! [sigh] it was a convoluted process but i do   
   now have it coming up in true 80x50 mode instead of 80x50 stuffed into an   
   80x25 window like it had been doing... it took a combination of settings in   
   syncterm and at least one or two to the pif (again) specific to starting   
   syncterm...   
      
   anyway, it now jumps back and forth between 80x25 and 80x50 for those systems   
   configured as such...   
      
   this is one time i'll say "thanks for pissing me off" :LOL: though it wasn't   
   you personally that go me going but that a piece of software apparently knew   
   better than i did what i wanted :)
