Clicked on the RB icon, and the screen opens a window less than 1/2 the

Maximize Icon( right corner) system moves the 1/2 size window to the top of
the screen, press a second time, moves the 1/2 size screen down 1/2 inch.

If I change the Icon, Screen Tab Window option to Full Screen, RBase runs
in the top of half of the screen, and the bottom 1/2 of the screen is black.

What am I missing ??

Dear Jim;

In Windows 2000/NT/XP, you will use the [ALT]+[ENTER] keys to toggle between
full screen and window mode.

To make the full screen mode utilize all of the available screen, you will need to
experiment with the following settings:

1) Start RBDOS in the window mode
2) Click on the C:\ icon in the upper left hand corner of the caption bar
3) Click on the Defaults option and then the Layout tab

In the Layout panel, you will see options for Screen Buffer Size and Window Size.
On most of my systems, a Width setting of 80 and a Height setting of 25 for both
the Screen Buffer Size and Window Size makes them work properly. However, this
is dependent on your screen resolution and other video settings.

You will also need to do the exact same for the Properties option when you click
the C:\ icon.

See if this helps.

Good Luck!
