If you were to run JimM's morerows program, it would convince Workbench to
open a screen bigger than 640 by 200.  After running this program (which can
be found on Fred Fish disk #54), you can resize the CON: window to be 80
columns by 25 lines, in spite of the title bar and resize gadget.

I recommend it.  The only program I've found that doesn't like morerows is
Eric Graham's movie program.  Both version 1.01 (Oct 27, 1987) and version 1.3
(03-Feb-1988) of this Sculpt-3D anim player die with the message "unable to
open window".  (They also require a stack bigger than 4300 bytes.)  This is
why the BoingThrows anim stopped working for me suddenly one day.

[If anyone wants to follow up on this topic of programs failing with
morerows, be sure to change the Subject: line.]
