Does anyone know how to automatically size the VLT window on the Workbench upon startup? I want a rather small window that will hold exactly 80x20 in a 5x8 font. I can set this up by hand but VLT has no commands to allow the actual size of the window to be adjusted. Only the number of lines and columns can be changed. Any ideas?

To specify VLT's window size on startup, make an alias, something like:
alias VLT run VLT -b +c "window 0 12 430 175; activate v"
depending on the flavor of your alias command. This starts VLT up without
a screen (-b) and then executes the window command changing the position
to 12 pixels down with a size of 430 by 175 pixels, which should give you
roughly the 80 characters by 20 lines in the tiny font. It assumes you have
already set VLT to be on the Workbench. You can also use
-b
+c=window 0 12 430 175; activate v
as tooltypes when you start VLT from its icon. (5.034 and later).
