Thanks Steven ..

OK .. I set BT32.EXE up to the WIN/NT version and put the .DLL in the 
directory.  If I use a controller based modem the POTS version of this is now 
running even without loading WINFOSSIL.  If I use COM/IP with no provision for 
the FOSSIL loaded as part of COM/IP .. and neither is WINFOSSIL here, then this 
is running on WIN-XP as well.

In each case doing exactly what you suggest as to playing with the Window size 
for height and saving that to the shortcut that runs these cleans up the screen 
print format deal as far as I can tell.  I just got both the POTS and the 
TELNET version to handle message traffic both ways to the test box.

Took me a heck of a lot longer to download and add the five new critical patch 
updates that were released today for the WIN world than it did to do all this, 
chortle.  But things are now working at a basic level for me to continue the 
research.

Thanks again!

And to you too, Peter for your thoughts...
