Oh, yes.. It gives a full account of what's been accepted and/or
rejected, but there's no explanation or rhyme or reason that I can see
on why it picks a virtual screen size when I've got virtual set to
(0,0). What I want is for it to use the mode line I specified and
disable the virtual screen scrolling crap, but I can't seem to make it
go away.<br>
