With that font and that geometry setting I get a 68 lines frame window and the emacs covers the entire screen vertically, excluding the start bar (which is what I want). I guess the default font is a bit bigger so when I request 70 lines worth I get a window that is too large vertically for my resolution. > > Also, what version of Windows is that? Mine is XP SP2.
