The sizes picked up by a BIND with the query bit are determined by the
model number that you configured the 3180 to. For the basic model
numbers a BIND without the query bit must be an exact match and for
the extended model numbers the BIND can specify anything within the
physical device limits.

Edward Jaffe wanted dynamic screen size changes, initiated by the user
at the terminal and automatically recognized by the host application.
That's not something in the datastream definition and not something
provided by InfoWindow et al.

Not quite; it's in reference to applications that can handle more than
24 rows but can't handle a display buffer larger than 4 KiB, e.g., the
application will work with 51x80 but fail with 52x80, or the
application will work with 31x132 but fail with 32x127.

Red herrings! Get your red herrings while they're fresh. I never
suggested any such thing. It would, however, be nice if you didn't
make overly broad generalizations and if you didn't expect people to
read your mind when you quote a large body of text but are only
responding to one part.
>The sentence upon which I was commenting
Was imbedded in a large body of text, with no indication that you
comment referred to that sentence at all, much less that it refereed
only to that sentence. If your software makes it difficult to use a
correct quoting style, you could at least word your comment in such a
way as to indicate context.
