Here in list.yarn, vatoloco@insync.net (Ben Alcala) spake unto us, saying:

It's a lot more flexible if you simply comment out the ScreenSixeX and
ScreenSixeY line in global.fte like so:

# ScreenSizeX = 80; ScreenSizeY = 25;

Then the VIO version of FTE doesn't have a fixed screen size, and it will
dynamically change its size based on the size (or resolution) of the
window (or full-screen) session it finds itself in when first invoked.

>Ahhh.... BIG windows are way cool!!!

Yes. :-) Though I still use 25 or 40 lines in fullscreen VDMs here
for most stuff.
