Only way I know of is to do one of the following: 1) MoreRows your machine so you can get 25 rows of text in addition to a titlebar (requires about 210 pixels in non-interlace), 2) use a custom screen with INTERLACE and only request 25 lines, 3) use smaller than 8 pixels in height. I can't remember if it was in 2.8 or not but one of those releases forgot, when using SCREEN CUSTOM, to set up the window so that you could drag the window down a few pixels to expose the screen's front/back gadgets allowing you to click the screen to the front or back. This was "fixed" in 2.9 to the dismay of some users (they use screen cyclers so don't need access to the screen's gadgets) since it robbed them of usable pixels. I'm working on a way to keep everyone happy and, with luck, it'll be included in the next *full* release of VT100 which will, most likely, be called 2.10. >-Vic Ricker vmr@hcx.psu.edu -- Tony Sumrall author of VT100 2.9 (and 2.8a and 2.8 and...) acs@pccuts.pcc.amdahl.com <=> amdahl!pccuts!acs [ Opinions expressed herein are the author's and should not be construed to reflect the views of Amdahl Corp. ]
