Hi, anybody knows how to change the screen size in foxbase+/foxplus?, it's running on SCO Openserver, i'm connecting through SSH, I can resize the SSH client window, but the application doesn't use all of it.

PS: Basically, i would like to use more that the initial 25 rows and 80 columns...

foxbase, and Foxpro 2.6 are restricted within the compiler/runtime to 25 lines.

In FoxPro 2.5 and 2.6, You can change the screen size/mode using the command
SET DISPLAY TO displaymode

Example: SET DISPLAY TO VGA50

Available modes are:
CGA, COLOR, EGA25, EGA43, MONO, VGA25, VGA50

I tried "set display to vga50" with "Microsoft Foxpro 2.6 for Unix", and while there are no error messages, "@30,5 say "hello world" gives an off screen error, and the response from sys(2006) is "ansi color".

I test the display mode vga50 on FoxPro 2.6 for DOS
It works just fine up to line @49, 5 SAY "Test"
Off screen error begin appears on line @50, 5 SAY "Test"

I don't have Foxpro for UNIX to test your case.
But if there is no Syntax Error when your issue the "Set Display to VGA50",
then it is a valid mode in FoxPro 2.6 for UNIX.

Maybe you could try interchanging the @row,column to @column, row.
SOME Programming language have different orientation regarding row and column.

When Microsoft published Foxpro for Unix, they took the DOS version and compiled it to produce a Unix executable. They made minimal changes. The problem is that it is a character based application, not an X based app, so the display is treated as an 80x25 dumb crt (think vt100).
Note that the output from the sys(2006) function is not VGA.
Microsoft never issued any updates or patches to the original 1994 version.
