Custom screen size

   I have anther requirement that you may be able to assist me with.

We have changed our 4GL (POSH) to be able to dynamically set the screen size depending on the data on the screen. To enable this feature we have set Accuterm NormRows to 40 and NormCols to 100 or 120.

What I need is a method of querying Accuterm to see what the current setting are and then a method of instructing Accuterm to change these setting to accommodate a larger screen.

I am not talking about Normal �v- Wide but the ability to change these values to specific settings.

We would standardise on a range of acceptable combinations and we would have a minimum size setting but we still need to allow for many combinations and normal/wide is not enough.

	You can use a small script to query or modify the NormRows and NormCols settings. To get the current size: PRINT CHAR(27) : CHAR(2) : 'P InitSession.Output CStr(InitSession.NormCols) & "," & CStr(InitSession.NormRows) & Chr$(13) ' : CHAR(13) : INPUT COLSROWS To change the setting, use: PRINT CHAR(27) : CHAR(2) : 'P InitSession.NormCols = ' : COLS : ' : InitSession.NormRows = ' : ROWS : CHAR(13) :
