Is it possible to make a telnet session window wide enough to allow seeing more than 80 columns? I would like to be able to edit flat files that run to 132 columns. Thanks and Merry Christmas. BTW, the X in Xmas stands for the greek letter X (chi), which stands for Christ, therefore Xmas means Christmas. -- = John DeRosa, Motorola, Inc, Cellular Infrastructure Group = = e-mail: ...uunet!motcid!derosaj, motcid!derosaj@uunet.uu.net = = Applelink: N1111 = =I do not hold by employer responsible for any information in this message =

Well, sure there is, when you get the "open session" window, there is a "configure" button. Hit it and then you can set all sorts of things for this session, one of which is Columns, which can be set to either 80 or 132. BTW, where did 132 come from? Looks like a number that someone pulled from mid-air like 5280 feet in a mile or 2.5 inches in a British Nail (gawd, I love the CRC). -- = John DeRosa, Motorola, Inc, Cellular Infrastructure Group = = e-mail: ...uunet!motcid!derosaj, motcid!derosaj@uunet.uu.net = = Applelink: N1111 = =I do not hold by employer responsible for any information in this message =

Before the Mac you would produce your computer outputs on fanfold paper about 14 inches wide. At 10 characters per inch you could print 132 characters. The VT100 terminal from DEC had an option to display at 132 char. NCSATelnet and MacTerminal are VT100 emulators and support 132 characters.
