   What resolution are you running at?  Physically, how wide and high are   
   those DOS windows on your screen?   
      
   My 14" laptop is 1440x1050, and that makes each DOS window a little   
   wider than 3" across.  That's pretty small.   
      
   I recently posted the results on my 17" monitor (with a ruler for scale   
   in a couple of them) :   
      
   	http://openxp.kolico.ca/pointweb-on-17/   
      
   It's running at 1280x1024 which makes each DOS window a bit larger at 7"   
   across.  But that's still a bit too small for regular use.  And, the   
   height of those windows is fixed at 80x25 chars.  Taller/longer windows   
   would be good!   
      
   As you discovered, the login screen is scalable, but not the actual   
   webpoint session.
