Dom;
I would suggest NOT trying to mess with the initial shell window. I don't
know about WB_2.x but under 1.3 and older, that initial CLI was quite a bit
different than any subsequent CLI or Shell.
I also would suggest that you should consider getting Bill Hawes's WShell.
WShell will give you a scroll bar on your Shell. Plus, of course, you can
open it at any size you wish.
While it is best if you don't "mess with" the CBM "Startup-Sequence" file,
Doug's suggestion is a reasonably elegant solution. Rename your S-S to
something like "StartupII" and create a new S-S that has a line that reads
"newshell con:0/0/600/400/Start_Shell from S:StartupII". Of course it
would also be best if you moved the line "setpatch >NIL:" from the original
S-S to the first line of your new one.
