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?

and has a big hairdo. He wasn't in the military which may lessen
his sway with the armed forces. He's obsessed with women ..."
