Yes, but still tiny. Normal minimum would be 80x25 (maybe 80x24). I
like to go a lot larger. When I'm compiling code, I generally maximize
the window - on today's system, that's 190x51 - and for MUDding, I'll
usually go for roughly 90x=E2=88=9E, because I can. :) My current MUD windo=
w
is 89x32 visible, 89x=E2=88=9E stored. 64x20 means everything's going to wr=
ap,
and it won't take much to push text off the "screen".
