it's not a perl problem, it's an m$ 'feature' (mainly found under NT lacking
some service packs/upgradss)
for example, on win98 i never had that problem, neither do i have it on
win2k or on my fully sp'd and upgraded winnt4 box
however on a few nt boxes having NOT had all service packs, i'm stuck with
supplying the window with a screen size it should retain and it refuses to
buffer beyond that...
thanks to darth gates of course...
