Once again you are commenting critically on what I have written without
having bothered to check the context. Because of this we are going round in
circles because we have been this way before very recently.

The context is the following question from Tom Marchant: "Does anyone know
how to set the primary screen size in IBM Personal Communications?"

In case I have to spell it out, I am pretty certain that Tom, being aware
that the alternate dimensions could be specified by PCOMM customization, was
asking how the default (primary) dimensions could be specified, also by
PCOMM customization. I'm sure Tom will explain if I - and Alan - have
misunderstood him.
