Hello Everyone:

OK...

emacs -nw

...works; emacs is launched in non-graphical mode within tsch. Great.

However, the screen size that emacs starts in is too tall and I have to
scroll down just to see the status line and minibuffer.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hello:

Please help; I am new to Cygwin.

I need a non-graphical version of emacs.

(I was able to find a version of emacs, but when I launch it from Cygwin it
opens in a new window and it has a complete point-and-click interface.)

(Note: I am running Windows 2000 Professional.)

Thank you,

Mark K.

Hi,

the screen buffer size has to be the same as the window size
("Properties..." in the Window menu of the window your shell runs
in). Emacs uses as much lines as it can get and this is solely
determined by the screen buffer size. If the visible window size is
smaller than that, you'll have to scroll. I'm not aware of any Emacs
command line switch to alter this behaviour.

regards,
Markus
