I have made many Windows platform fixes, including this one. The tough
part is that they are becoming intertwined.
The problem is when the user selects outside the 80x24 or 132x27 range.
Another bug was like starting with line 0 versus line 1 of the screen
buffer.
I'm super busy at work, converting from rs/6000 unix based ERP to iSeries
solution. I'll see when I can extract the fixes. Do you Brian have the
ability to recompile if I give you source or differences? You want my EXE
to get you by for the short term at least?
I've added other config file options like title bar value, can restrict
users from exiting TN5250 if not at login screen. I fixed screen resizing
between 80 and 132 column, but my fix is the opposite of how unix version
works. I keep window the same size and resize the fonts to fit.
I fixed WinXP problem where program hoses up when screen is locked and
user has to enter password.

By all means, try that... enable the trace function and see if you can
replicate it. It *might* help, though I don't know that there's
sufficient info in the trace file to help me debug a problem like this.
However, I don't have access to a Vista machine. So even if I think I
find the solution, I'm not sure how I could tell that my solution
worked.
