Jackson | peter@geog.ubc.ca >Atmospheric Science Programme | peter_jackson@mstg.ubc.ca >University of British Columbia | peter_jackson@ubcmtsg.bitnet There are two little utility TOS programs that switch the ST between 50 and 25 line mode. You might be able to put the execution of 50LINE.PRG in your gulam.g file (so it gets executed when you enter Gulam). You could put 25LINE.PRG in your ".logout" (I cannot remember what it is called for Gulam, but it is there). Then by changing your termcap, you could display more text. This is just a theory, but I will try it and let you know. The two programs came to me via comp.binaries.atari.st a long time ago. If you cannot find them on atari.archive, let me know. -- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey R.
