ROWS

Name

ROWS -- Set Display Size.

Synopsis

ROWS=n (n = 25-60)

Availability

Global configuration keyword, used only in XROUTER.CFG.

Description

The default display height for XRPi is 25 rows, which matches the format used in DOS XRouter.

However, you may find that with just 25 lines, the status windows are too cramped, and console pages are too short for comfort, in which case you may expand the display by using the ROWS directive at the start of XROUTER.CFG. For instance, for a 50-row display use ROWS=50.

Depending on your screen resolution and "terminal window" settings you may be able to use 60 or more rows, however some display adaptors won't allow you to go much beyond 40 rows. It is better to start with a low figure and increase it 10 at a time until you find the limit for your adaptor. Beyond the limit, the display will either break up or behave oddly.

Note

This directive does not (yet) work properly in XRPi!!!! If you disable it, XRPi will size itself to fill the terminal window it is started in. You are recommended to use a terminal of at least 80x25 for best results.
