[SunHELP] >80 columns at the console...

[Michael Vang]

BTW, that was with a 1024x768 screen... I just tried it with a 800x600 screen 
and I got 132 columns, but I couldn't increase the number of rows... There is 
a 2" strip of whitespace at the top and bottom of the screen... Once I get to 
the graphical portion everything fills the screen... This problem only happens 
in the console...

At 1024x768 the font is very large, while at 800x600 it is very small... I 
guess what I need to do is make the small font the default font at 1024x768, 
but how?

I'm limited to 1024x768 by my monitor...

One further, but unrelated question:

I've been trying to make the man pages come out formatted to fit the window 
instead of the 80 column default, mainly to save paper if I want to print one 
out... I've looked at the man manpage, the less & more manpages and various 
environment settings but I am getting nowhere... A gentle nudge in the right 
direction would be appreciated...

Thanks!
