[comp.sys.atari.st] Can EMACS on ST do 50 line mode?

AAron@image.soe.clarkson.edu (AAron nAAs) (07/16/90)

After programming(editing) on the IBM extensively in 50 line mode, I find
it almost intolerable editing in EMACS on my STe.  I think EMACS is great.
The "ME" that came with MWC has the "-l" option that enables 50 line mode.

SO, is it possible in the recent EMACS ports????  I WANT IT!!

Yes it is possible. If you have a program to switch to 50 line mode (i remember
a posting of two files L25.asm and L50.asm some time ago), GNU-Emacs will
recognize this. It will even recognize any other screen size (<= 300 rows and
<= 300 columns) and display them correctly (for example if you use BigScreen,
the low-resolution of the ST or a larger monitor).

You can also, with micro-emacs 3.10e, put this line into your emacs.rc:
set $sres DENSE	(HIGH will return to 24-lines mode)

Of course, this works only in monochrome.

MicroEmacs 3.10 for the ST (and possibly earlier versions) in monochrome
supports a variable ($mode?) that set to DENSE will give 47-lines. Check
the ST-specific documentation for the exact details.

I can't make 'me' do 50 line mode :-(

I used hi50.tos then tried all the following with no luck:

me -l50 <file>
me -l 50 <file>
me l50 <file>
me l 50 <file>
me -l <file>
me l <file>

So, how can I do it??????

'mg' (micro gnu) emacs works in 50 line mode, but I would like to
use 'me' because it is integrated with the compiler.

Thanks in Advance

	MicroEMACS 3.10, which runs on the ST series, will allow you to
add the line:

set $sres DENSE

	to your emacs.rc file and it will come up in 50 line mode on a
monochrome monitor.  Also you can type

	^SA$sres<NL>DENSE<NL>

	to do this while in EMACS.  LOW and MEDIUM are also modes that
will control the screen resolution in the above commands.
