Follow-up question: Is there an sequence I can transmit from the host to flip the screen width on a 220? (ie: can I define an emacs command to do both parts of the screen widening/shrinking? -- Regards, Andrew. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andrew Watson, Harlequin Limited, andrew@uk.co.harlqn | | Barrington Hall, Barrington, Tel: +44 223 872522 | | Cambridge CB2 5RG, UK Fax: +44 223 872519 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
