I too have dual 19s. I rotate one for LPEX. Unfortunately us older
folks, still need larger fonts. I use Courier New -11 and get 61 lines.

David,

Under Preferences, you can go to LPEX Editor and then Appearance. Here
you can change the font. Per a session about WDSCi tips with Aaron
Bartell, he shared that the font of Lucinda Console-regular-8 is a fine
font to use to be able to see more at once.


I'm also on a 19" monitor. I don't get as many lines as Bryce, but I do
see 70 lines.

Bon Chance!
-Kurt

The main advantage of RDi over PDM/SEU is in the time to
analyze a program and produce code. If you can see 86 lines
of code (in my setup) at a time in RDi(WDSC) versus only 19
in SEU then I don't know how you can ignore the productivity
gains that gives you.

Bryce, what are your preferences set at? I only have 51 lines and I
haven't found another setting that is easy on the eye. My screen is only
17", I think.

Another comparaison with the number of lines : I find that
greenscreeners are less likely to use long names in their code. So you
tend to get a lot more comment lines, thus amplifying even more the
difference. They may be lazy about writing subprocedures as that slows
them down. I still sometimes use SEU for a quick look at something, but
it has to be really quick because often I have to page and page before
finding any code!
