does anyone know how to make an old clipper s87, win98 application use
more than 25 lines of console rows?

i tried this :
mode con lines=43
run the s87app.exe

the window had 43 lines available, but is not able to use anything
beyond the 25th row. @ 27,10 say "XXXX" prints over in the upper
portion of the screen.

a.) how will the s87app detect the number of lines available?
b.) how can dbedit be instructed to use more than the default 25 rows?

thanks for any reply.

s87 is fixed to 25/80 screen, while clipper5x [5.3 for example] may read
screen size, but only few predefined values like 25, 43 or 50 lines.

in 5.3 i use maxrow() and maxcol() to determine the size of screen as set in
shortcut property, so clipper app may adjust itself.
