I'm confused. I use MPASM 1.21 from the DOS command line because I don't like the menu (e.g. C> MPASM mysrc ) and it doesn't affect my 80x50 display at all. What am I missing here? Works fine from the editor DOS shell, too. MPSIM on the other hand does change the display to 80x25. And just to show how dumb it is, it does it when it exits, so it isn't even necessary. It would be much nicer if it would use all 50 lines! Peter -- peterj@netcom.com URL: http://mall.turnpike.net/~jc/ Stereograms - Shareware - Amateur Radio - WWW Camera Map - Delphi Mysteries
