Question about setting morerows. The documentation says that about the largest you can go is aprrox. -rows 34 and -columns 65 (I don't have it here so I don't know the exact figures). I tried 33 and 63 and the right side of the window is way off the screen. Even with adjusting the screen position with preferences I have to move the upper left corner off the screen (losing the wb menu bar) just to get the lower right corner, at largest window size. I am running it "morerows -rows 33 -columns 63" and doing a warm boot. I have dropped the values down to 27 and 57 and there seems to be no change at all in window size. Is it suppose to be off the screen like that? The documentation says something about moving the preferences centering gadget to the upper left. If I do this the window, as I already ssaid, loses the menu bar. Wasn't something said here awhile back about having a fastmem type of blitter problem if this gadget was moved to the left? I'm lost on getting this to work, and it looks so easy. I get the impression I'm not being successful on setting the parameters. I've used it once about a year ago and don't remember having any problem. It might have been another version if there are any others.

Actually, the amount of information you see is dependent on your
monitor. See you have any adjusters on the back of your monitor to
squinch it down to show more pixels. Then squirrel around with
morerows and the gadget until you see as much info as you can.
If your pointers isn't screwed up, your view position is OK.

You may want to try adjusting some of: vert pos, vert size, hor pos, hor size. I fiddled with these to get the screen sized and centred the way I wanted it for a -rows 35 -columns 64 screen on my NEC Multisynch II. On my NEC those adjustments are at the front. On some monitors they are at the back or even inside. I tried a bigger -columns (about 80) and got an interesting effect. They fit on the screen OK and the mouse pointer looked normal in the extra space, but the WB screen was invisible beyond the 64th extra column. I hit a hard coded S/W limit in the O/S right? |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Hugh D.

(goes on about windows being off the screen) Did you shrink the size of the screen with the vertical size control (on the back of a 1080) and horizontal size (in a hard to get spot inside the 1080) Most of the overscan os offscreen on a 1080, so if you want to use it, you have to make that overscan area visable by shrinking the screen using the monitors hardware adjustment controls. You can easily do the vertical yourself, but I'd have a TV tech do the horizontal for you (there are some Dangerous voltages in there!) -- ------ Walter Reed ------ + uunet!ndsuvax!ncreed or ncreed@ndsuvax.BITNET "There's no point in being + or ncreed@plains.NoDak.edu grown up if you can't be + childish sometimes!"
