In the NT-based series (WinNT4, Win2K, XP Pro), the command window has two sets of parameters: the *screen buffer* size (width x height), and the *window* size (what's actually displayed of the buffer). The command window will put up an appropriate scrollbar if a buffer dimension is larger than the corresponding window dimension. In these OSes, you can drag a window and resize it *up to the buffer size*. Now, most of us typically set the buffer width and the window width as the same (80 chars), so you can't resize horizontally, but we *can* resize vertically if the buffer is larger than the window size (typically 24 lines). In Win98 and Me, you cannot drag and expand the window, or set a buffer size larger than the window size. Period. Don't know if they have deliberately crippled XP Home to match Me (I don't have XP Home to check..) -- Shankar. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
