Hi,

The alpha version of Windows 2.0 which I saw when I visited a developer
who was working with it on his VGA screen had about 30 lines of file 
listing in the DOS Executive window.  In other words, I was able to see 
more on a standard VGA (with smaller fonts).   However, what I see now 
with Windows/286 v2.1 on PS/2 50 VGA screen is like the version 1.0* 
in terms of how much it can display.
   I scrutinized the manual rather thoroughly only to find no word on
how to display more.

   Strangley,  you can see a picture showing more lines in a book explaining
Windows v2.0, published by Microsoft.  But on the manual of v2.1, the 
picure shows just around 25 lines again.

   I think you once wished to see more lines as on a MacII screen.

   Does anyone know the story about this?  Or know how to get more than 
25 lines in a maximized DOS Executive window?

                              Hugh
