What Leo (in message <7tn0pl$pne$1@news1.xs4all.nl>) was seeking is something I don't normally look for (avoiding that horz. scroll bar)

If these solutions don't do what you need, try it _backwards_ ! Persuade your session to expect shorter text in that window. At invocation, set the S option to something smaller, like 70. Then the pgm-Ed shouldn't want to offer wider text than 70.

...So I tested my idea, and found it impossible to set this option on my win95 system at configuration, neither in the config file nor on the icon, each time as " -s 70 " This is a bit different from the documentation, which encourages me to believe I should be able to set this system option as -s 70
