No version of filePro on any platform I'm aware of knows how to deal
with a logical windows size other than 80x24 or 80x25 (except bclerk
for the old Model 100, and I'm sure that's not an issue; what was it,
Ken? 40x16?).

As far as physical size of the 80x25 window on your monitor, that
depends on your terminal emulator and whether either a) it knows how to
scale fonts or b) it provides a decent terminal font that is suited to
your screen resolution.

Note that terminal fonts are remarkable tall for their width; normal
monospace fonts will either not fill the screen, or look horrible.

Cheers,
