There are two caveats: >1. you have to set the width to 72 characters (instead of 80) at > 1024x768 with 24 point fonts Well, you don't _have_ to ;-) E.g., I have my screen buffer size set to 96 wide and 200 high, so when I select 24-pt bold Lucida Console, I don't see more than about 68 characters within the frame, but I can scroll horizontally to see to the 96 limit. If I output more than 96 wide, it wraps to the next line. You may want to set wrap/buffer width at 72, but that's a choice, not a have-to, at least on my system ;-) >2. you can't run in full-screen mode Well, my system permits it, sort of, but it does force some layout and ugly raster font that reminds of a black BSOD and is probably controlled by some registry stuff that I am too lazy to pursue. I had to kill it (the console window) to get back to a normal console window, but that is probably because I don't know the secret incantation off hand ;-/ Anyway, HIIH (happy if it helped ;-) Regards, Bengt Richter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
