Hi, Grant Edwards :
>>export COLUMNS LINES > That will tell you the terminal size at the time Python was started. Ok, I think tracking these changes in real time is not worth the work to be done using Python2. I think at last I'll rewrite this (little) programe in Python3 in order to use get_terminal_size(). Bye -- Alex -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
