ML> and wouldn't you know it... i decided to beat on it again and be

 ML> convoluted process but i do now have it coming up in true 80x50 
 ML> mode instead of 80x50 stuffed into an 80x25 window like it had

 NB> Good to hear man. If there were something wrong, I would have let
 NB> Deuce/Stephen know for you, since you don't seem to frequent any
 NB> echos he does. 

he/they are not in any of the synchronet echos??? hummm...

 ML> this is one time i'll say "thanks for pissing me off" :LOL: though 
 ML> it wasn't you personally that go me going but that a piece of 
 ML> software apparently knew better than i did what i wanted :)

 NB> I know what you mean. When someone tells you something works, you 
 NB> have to try it again for yourself. :)

well, yes... but 'd been fighting this thing since max decided to give
synchronet a try... my previous telnet terminal software was lost on a
farkled OS and i haven't had time to track it down for rejuvenation... such
as it is, i've rather been forced to look at some new stuff that i honestly
didn't care to try to deal with but i guess that one of the costs of
becoming a cantankerous old fart :/

 NB> I must give credit where it's due, though, Both Rob and Stephen are
 NB> very smart guys, and if bug reports/feature requests are
 NB> respectable, I'll be damned if they don't fix them right there on
 NB> the spot that it's received by them. 

i know... that's one of the main reasons why i participate in the synch
echos now... much the same reason why i participate in the DB support area,
as well...

 NB> Now.. back to PCBOARD discussion, or lack thereof. :)

yup! there is that to look forward to  :P -=B-)
