What kind of 'terminal' are you using ? VT100 (or similar) or a DECwindows terminal ? What does SHOW TERM show at DCL level. You may need to increase the page size at DCL level, before being able to increase the page size in the debugger.

I'm using a terminal emulator actually, PowerTerm Pro Enterprise set to emulate VT420-7. Yes, the terminal page size is set to 48 from both the VMS session and from the terminal emulator itself. Also, when I spawn from DEBUG and show term, it is set to 48. Still, the DEBUG windows are all scrunched into 24 lines.
