How to fill your LCD in OS/2 text mode!



TP OS/2 users:  You know how 80x25 text in your OS/2 boxes don't fill the
entire screen?  And how there's no Ultravision-like utility for OS/2?  And
how the vertical expansion option with the TP utilities makes for yucky
fonts?  Here's how to use your entire LCD in OS/2 full screen text mode.

mode 80,30

That's it.  I had played around with different text screen resolutions a
while back but gave up when anything I tried seemed to leave the blank areas
at the top and bottom of the screen.  I stumbled across this when a file
viewer I was checking out threw my screen into 80x30 mode.  To make 80x30
the default of your OS/2 full screen boxes, add /K MODE 80,30 in the options
section of the settings.  I had no idea my LCD was THAT big!  :)

Whaddaya think Sean, good enough for the FAQ?

          his sway with the armed forces.  He's obsessed with women ..."
