What version of Emacs did you install, and from which site did you download the binary distribution? Also, how do you start Emacs, exactly? Do you have any customizations on your .emacs init file? What happens if you invoke "emacs -Q"? > I cannot find a way to adjust the default window size.

If you type "M-: (frame-height) RET" and "M-: (frame-width) RET", what does Emacs display in the echo area (the last line of its window)? > Can someone give me simple instructions on how to change the default window > size? The default size should be small enough to produce a window that is fully visible. Here I get a 36x80 window.
