Hi everybody!
I hope, here are still some more people than only Klaus, who helped me a
lot with my last problem.
Now:
If I'm on the command line prompt in TCC/LE and want to change to a
directory, that's name exists in various directories and subdirectories,
a selection box appears with all the possible targets.
This box is so small that I can't even read the first paths.
How can I set the size of this box constantly to higher values, for
example the entire width of the screen and half the length?
Gruß, Ralf

On my desktop, I can simply drag the sides with my mouse to the desired
width and height. Can't you?

Of course, I can do everything with my mouse. But that's not what I
want. I want to open this pop up window always as wide as the
TCC/LE-windows is. I have also tried to use the key combination
ALT-Space and X, but that didn't work. I found something in the INI-File
called PopUpWindowWidth, but that didn't work, too. Maybe this is from
old 4DOS. Any other idea?

So you want to change the default initial width of the "Change
Directory" pop-up window? I don't think I have ever seen a way to do
that.

Hallo Ralf,
PopUpWindowWidth is working here. The width is set in pixels, not chars :-)
Try a value of abaou 600 .

PopUpWindowWith is denied here. The name must bei PopUpWinWidth. But all
these PopUp... keynames did not change anything here.
But I found out, that this one worked:
CDDWinLeft=20
CDDWinTop=20
CDDWinWidth=2350
CDDWinHeight=1250

Yes, rather confusing everything.

Oops, I tried it with a popup window :-)
And you can do it from within TCC:
OPTION [/U //Optionsname[=Wert ...]][Optionsname]
/U(pdate - Aktualisieren)
Optionsname: Name der zu setzenden/ändernden Option in der
INI-Datei
Wert: Neuer Wert für diese Option

What is a popup window? I have the TCC/LE command line opened in a
>> CDDWinTop=20
>> CDDWinWidth=2350
>> CDDWinHeight=1250

maximised window and when I type "brinkmann\downloads\" another small
window opens for the correct path selection. I thought this is a popup
window.

visible.

That's right. Rex doesn't like user's fiddling with some options,
because they produce a lot of support questions.
