	Hi, I've been playing with a terminal program using a borderless
 backdrop window with no gadgets and all to get a full 80 x 25 line display,
 (also used the Query function on the Serial read function, it helps quite
 a bit) Anyway, I thought the next step would be to use a SuperBitMap
 structure that I could scroll around and have a sizeable, draggable window.
 However, using the Console device, if I size the window the console device
 restricts itself to the current size of the window, i.e. it wraps lines and
 such. Is there any way to force the console device to use the full size of
 the Bitmap? I'd like not to go to the effort of writing an Ansi emulator..
 By the way, any chance of adding Scrollable regions to the Console devices
 repertoire of escape codes? That seems to be the only thing standing between
 me and my VAX (VMS) editors (EDT, TPU).
	Thanks for any pointers.
	Cheers
