OK .. I set BT32.EXE up to the WIN/NT version and put the .DLL in the
directory.  If I use a controller based modem the POTS version of this is
now running even without loading WINFOSSIL.  If I use COM/IP with no
provision for the FOSSIL loaded as part of COM/IP .. and neither is
WINFOSSIL here, then this is running on WIN-XP as well.

In each case doing exactly what you suggest as to playing with the Window
size for height and saving that to the shortcut that runs these cleans up
the screen print format deal as far as I can tell.  I just got both the
POTS and the TELNET version to handle message traffic both ways to the test
box.

Took me a heck of a lot longer to download and add the five new critical
patch updates that were released today for the WIN world than it did to do
all this, chortle.  But things are now working at a basic level for me to
continue the research.

Thanks again!

And to you too, Peter for your thoughts...
