6.2.26 MaxX, MaxY

Syntax:
MaxX columns
MaxY rows
Example:
MaxX 80
MaxY 25

The MaxX and MaxY keywords are used to define the screen or text window size MsgEd TE is running in. Normally this will be autodetected and MsgEd TE will automatically use the full window size. For example, on OS/2, you could execute ‘MODE CO100,40’ and then start MsgEd TE, and it will automatically use 100 columns and 40 rows.

In some cases, however, the autodetection fails, or you might not want MsgEd TE to use the full screen size. In this case, you have to define the screen or window size manually with the MaxX and MaxY parameters.
