Re: [h-e-w] Problem of display of emacs under Windows 98

[John A Pershing Jr]

Have you tried grabbing the edge/corner of the Emacs window and 
stretching it out?  Or, clicking on the middle icon to maximize the window?

It very well may be that the current Emacs for Windows does not support 
Win-98, too.  I can't verify this, as I haven't run Win-98 in as long as 
I can remember.
