[Discussion] Changed window behavior

[Stratton McAllister]

I can't remember how to do this  and I don't know where to look in the
system documentation.

Whenever I open an eCS or a DOS window, it opens in the standard size, 25
rows by 80 columns.  Until today, if I then issued a MODE command to change
the number of rows amd/or columns, the window changed size to accommodate
the numbers I entered.

All of a sudden today, however, when the MODE command is entered, the
window size stays the same and scroll bars are added to accommodate the
added rows and/or columns.  Obviously, I've managed to change some setting
somewhere.  Can some kind soul please remind me how to change it back ?

Also, it used to be that all such windows opened in the same place on the
screen.  That behavior has also changed: the first window opens in some
apparently random place and succeeding windows open in a cascade pattern I
know there is a way to control this behavior, but I can't remember what it
is.  Can someone help ?

I assume all this is documented somewhere in the manuals in the Help Center
folder delivered with the system, but I haven't been able to find anything.
Does anyone know where ?

Many thanks
