OK, so I suppose you could figure out a way to modify the size and font
of the default window using PostScript in user.ps, but for me, it was a
lot easier looking it up in init.ps, and changing the window to be 40x80
in font ScreenBold.  Have I committed a deadly sin?

(The default window size/placement is very annoying, as the pointer is
initially outside the window, so the window isn't active & you can't type).
