[net.micro.amiga] SIZEBBOTTOM

I'm doing some hacking on AmigaTerm (as posted a couple of weeks back)
and one thing I wanted to do was real simple: make the window be full-width
so I could get closer to 80 columns.   Anyhow, I poked through the
source and found the OpenWindow, found the NewWindow structure it
uses and looked at the Flags settings.  Needless to say, it was a long
list of things (WINDOWDRAG, WOINDOWCLOSE, etc etc).  I found WINDOWSIZING
in the list and simply put "| SIZEBBOTTOM" after it.

I notice two things:
   a) AmigaTerm still will not use the last three columns in the window.
   b) AmigaTerm continues to go all the way to the bottom of the window.

Do I have to do something fancier to get the right thing to happen?  It
occurs to me that the width-problem might be because AmigaTerm is doing
its *own* line wrapping, and so I can';t tell where Intuition really
stops the window, but that still doesn't explain always going to the 
bottom of the window.

Always confused... but appreciative of help...

You got the right answer - AmigaTerm is doing it's own wrap. Look in the
function emit, near the bottom of the file.

I've been hacking on AmigaTerm myself (changed default baud rate, put in
more reasonable cr/lf treatment, working on UW protocols), and may try
adding SIZEBBOTTOM myself. I'd be interested in hearing about anything else
you put in (like, say, some form of terminal emulation!).
