I'm using MicroEMACS 3.10 both at home (386 PC Clone / DOS 3.3) and at
work (Sun 3/60 / BSD) and I have a common 'problem' with both.  I would
like to be able to adjust the size of the screen that the editor uses.
At work, running Suntools, I can adjust the screen size to virtually
any shape I need.  At home, I can set the screen to any combination of
80/108/230 columns by 25/34/43/50 lines.  Is there any way to set
MicroEMACS up so that it uses the full screen?  I have tried both the
"change-screen-size" and "change-screen-width" commands but either I am
invoking them incorrectly or they are not doing what I want because neither
prompts for a value and both return without doing anything .  I have also
tried playing with the two environment variables ($pagelen & $curwidth)
but if I try to set them to something greater than the screen size I get
an "out of range" error.  Has anybody got any ideas how accomplish this
or can it not be done?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
