Thats what I thought too; I have looked through all the properties for the window, but can't find anything like this one. Maybe Windows 2000 doesn't allow you to change it? Anyway, I have a number of things to try out now next time I am on site: * Registry hack at http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/877/. * Use rxvt instead of DOS box. * Make note of following: command.com depends on the NTVDM (16 bit virtual process); cmd.exe doesn't (32 bit process). -- Brian May
