The benefit of seeing an entire page of code is orthogonal to the size of the screen. I've read code that is 5 pages long on a GUI (with the IDE maximized). There are benefits of 80 column limits beyond that of vt100 terminals. Viewing source code side-by-side, for one. --jc -- Jimen Ching (WH6BRR) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
