Setting GFXTerm to 40 x 80                  ' results in correct display.                  ' Again, note that OPTION DISPLAY 24,80 in MMB gives the error                  ' message  Error : Cannot change LCD console <ESC>[?7l         ' reset autowrap mode <ESC>[?1000h      ' enable VT200 mouse reporting <ESC>7            ' save cursor and attributes <ESC>[2J          ' erase full display <ESC>[H           ' cursor to upper left corner <ESC>[1;1H        ' move cursor to line 1, column 1 <ESC>[39;1H       ' move cursor to line 39, column 1 <ESC>[35m         ' foreground colour to magenta <ESC>[4m          ' 80 spaces follows - underline them ie. draw a line <ESC>[0m          ' normal ie. turn off underline .... and so on but the issue appears to be that MMB defaults to 40 lines by 80 columns (where the manual states 24 x 80) whereas GFXTerm defaults to 24 x 80. Changing GFXTerm to match the MMB 40 x 80 enables EDIT to work OK.  MMB does not appear to allow this setting to be chaged eg. back to 24 x 80 Perhaps the manual could indicate that MMB defaults to 40 x 80 not 24 x 80 Doug.
