I use vi to do my text editing in linux and in windows.

Im hoping that in this case I can ask a windows question regarding VI.
(since vi is a Uniz/Linux thing)

I use the old vi text editor not vim I guess. Why change what works
for me.

Anyway. On windows when i open a dos prompt and then start vim the
screen is too small. for some of my files. You know it wraps things
around and doesnt show everything on the same line.

I changed the dos window so that it is bigger which should show
everhthing I need. BUT when I open vi.exe the screen imedietely
shrinks back to some default setting.

I asume that this has to do with some set command, while Im in Vi but
I cant seem to figure out which one. can anyone tell me which one. I
tried window, I tried wrapmargin, I tried setting the term to vt100,
Ok Im just guessing, but nothing seems to change the window size.

What am I missing.

Thanks.
