I have a server that has a small screen (640x480). I am using the Ataman telnet server and the Netterm client. I configure my telnet client to have a 50x132 window. I then log in and do mode con lines=50 cols=132. At that point all the native programs seem to know about the window size (i.e. WinNT more pauses every 50 lines, dir /w uses the full 132 columns, etc.). However, bash insists that my window is 36x80. I know this because stty size returns 36 80 and less pauses every 36 lines, ls only uses 80 columns, etc. Gnus emacs version 20.3 comes up in a 36x80 window (interestingly enough, Gnus emacs 19.34 comes up in a full 50x132 window). I have tried explictly doing stty rows 50 cols 132 and manually setting LINES=50 COLUMNS=132 to know avail. I have set TERM=linux (and tried various other ones as well). Why doesn't bash pick up the window size in the same way that the native programs do? How can I fix this? -Paul Weiss -Arity -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
