5.2 Modifying the features of Invite Rosetta WinNTx

When a CAS is launched in a command window of Windows NTx from assistant Rosetta, the text appears in blue on yellow background, in a window of 200 lines and 80 columns. We saw in section 4.6 how to modify the features of this window. When a SCF is launched from the icon Invite Rosetta WinNTx by typing its name of launching (cf. sec. 4.5), the text appears in black on white background, in a window of 250 lines and 80 columns. We explain in this section how to modify the features of this window (the procedure described in section 4.6 doesn't permit to do it).

The command window Invite Rosetta WinNTx is configured by default to 250 lines with 80 columns, with black characters on white background. To change this configuration, click with the right button of the mouse on the icon Invite Rosetta WinNTx of the folder Rosetta and select the option Properties. A dialog box opens up, entitled Properties of Invite Rosetta WinNTx (Fig. 5.2).

In order to have for example a "spreadsheet" of 100 columns of large rather than 80, select the tab Disposition and type 100 in the field Width of the frame Taille de la mémoire tampon écran (?Size of the screen buffer memory?). On the contrary, to have a small spreadsheet of 40 columns and 20 lines, type 40 at the same place, and 20 in the field Width of the frame Taille de la fenêtre (size of the window). The colors of the text and the background of the command window can be modified from the tab Color.
