resizing hpterm

Can we resize hpterm beyond 255 columns and 95 rows?

When I invoke

# hpterm -geometry 350x120

the resultant window size is 255x95. This can be confirmed by executing "resize" in the hpterm window.

Is this an expected behaviour?

Please let me know.

Re: resizing hpterm

Hi,

I think the size (in columns) of a window depends on the font size you are using:
If you switch to a smaller font (e.g. via the menu) and resize the window, the 'resize' command will tell you the new settings.

My CDE - using dtterm - does not create a window larger than the desktop screen - even when told by command option for dtterm - hpterm will not behave differently, IMHO.
I don't consider this as unexpected.
