I'm using the maximum in either direction that gives me a reasonable font size, depending on the resolution of the monitor currently working with. I'm mostly using 60x160, 80x160 or 90x160, but also 60x132 for those dumb products that only support x80 or x132 (Grrrr...).
I'd expect any product, at least new ones, to support any combination between 80x24 up to 90x160 (or whatever maximum ISPF supports). Some terminal emulators, such as IBM's Personal Communication is not good variable font sizes, so I tend to set the terminal dimension for best results. I don't expect that to really matter but just tp be sure: Don't expect the colors to be old fashioned "something on black". I'v been using white as backgound color for at least 10 to 15 years. Much more relaxing than constantly switch between black background emulation window and white or light grey background on office and other workstation programs. --Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
