Thanks, Alan!
IIRC, sometime in the distant past IBM PComm's pull-down had the 
capability to permit fill-in-the-blank as well as the standard Models 
2/3/4/5. 
Or maybe that was an OS/2 thing (talk about "distant past!").

I'll have to set up a separate .ws file for Model 5+ (133 across, 42 
down)!

IBM PCOMM, of course!  :-)  I get any size I want by editing the .ws file 
and manually filling in the height and width.  The standard pull-down on 
the configuration GUI limits you to the 1980s.  :-(

I see that Seagull's Bluezone emulator includes a Custom option on the GUI 

that lets you fill in the dimensions of BOTH the primary and alternate 
screen sizes.  (Though I shudder to think of how apps will respond to an 
alternate screen size of other than 24x80!  It's not like they query the 
dimensions of anything....)  Bluezone supports a maximum configuration of 
98x160.  But that's ok -- I noticed last week XEDIT has a limit of 255 
columns!
