OK, i have figured out that bbsload is actually the offending program when it comes to the size of the slit... it doesnt ever seem to want to be smaller than 20 pixels no matter how many 'bars' i select... it just resizes to 20 pixels.
The only option which even mentions height is this; !mailtool.heightBy.font: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* which doesnt do anything as i dont use a mailtool anyway.... hmm. is there a mailing list for bbtools as well? does anyone know if it is possible to implement a height option for the bbsload easily? thanks in advance!
