Settings indicate 640x480.  My monitor does not support anything larger which
sucks--unless there is some tweaking that I can do somewhere.

Netscape v 4.51 is set for Fixed width font Courier 10 allowing document

On this topic, I'd like to see the whole window made a bit smaller. I always have to scroll down to get to see the fields and text entry box. Perhaps let me set preferences on the server and remember them... ++Lar (26 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
