Thanks,

You are probably right. This was 25 lines.

However, I just cannot change the current configuration.

The point is that I am using the DOS program in full screen (and anyhow, the
use of the dislin graphic library forces the full screen mode).

In the "properties" of the DOS command program (under Windows 2000 at

So, the problem I raised is still unsolved. Can somone help me on that?

Thanks in advance.

Eric.
