The second "problem" was caused by a "fsize=12" command in my config.tel file.
Since I also had a "vtwidth=80" command, the window was made large enough
to accomodate the 12 point font, which is too large for a small Mac screen.
Removing the "fsize=12" command changes the font to the default Monaco 9,
which works fine.
 
The first problem is still there.
