Re: Odd sizes for tn3270 sessions

[Kris Buelens]

I sometimes use odd screen-sizes from
PCOMM over TELNET into VM.  No problem whatsoever.  VM supposrt
this for ages (since the arrival of the 3290 gaspanel I think).  The
PCOMM GUI does not allow to enter odd values, but if you edit the .WS file
you enter whatever.
