I'm sure I seleted the proper answer to make it hide, but I'll try it again.

Yep!  I just readded Vert to the dd, and told it to hide the status bar, but
it did not.

I'm running it in X, and it won't resize to the requested screen size.

Ok, I get it.  The actual window stays the same size, but the fonts get all
squished up if you set it to something like 80x50.
