Yes but it's also usable if user creates many console windows
using them just like CTWIN and wants to scroll some of them
automatically.

Yes though it has a little bit different meaning in GTXWC
because maximal and minimal console window size and resize
factor is send to XServer so it's process out of Harbour
application on the client side.
Anyhow I can remove this limits too.

In fact we already have 3 but the problem is when application starts
and default or user settings creates too big for screen size.
I'll commit small modification in a while which will check if startup
(default or user) parameters are do not exceed screen dimension and
if yes then they will be reduced to the screen size.
BTW set mode does not automatically change the font size. Maybe it will
be good to add such functionality but please remember that we have
problem here with priority of object to update: window size or font
size so I think it's important to first define expected behavior
(algorithm) and document it and later update the code so anyone
working on GTWVT will know expected behavior and can keep it adding
own modifications. And of course it should be possible to disable it
because not always our algorithm with its arbitrary decisions will
follow user preferences.
