This is extremely limiting on a 40       character display.              For example:       Using finger.js the most text I can enter is "sysop@vert.synchr"               Another example, the ; sysop command. My menu prompt is 35 characters long,       after ; the most I can enter is 4 characters, which means UEDIT, SHELL, RERUN,       RELOAD etc are not accessible to me.              I expect anyone with a 40 character display, not just my mode 7, is likely to       exhibit the same restrictions.       --- SBBSecho 3.23-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
