Thanks this was the key, using Google I was able to figure out the
details i.e. I added
(setq default-frame-alist '((width . 100)
(height . 38)))
to my .emacs file.
I didn't understand many of the other responses. This is a binary, a
.dmg, not something I built from CVS sources. This is a prepackaged dmg
install mentioned in the weekly adc newsletter and also available at the
download section of the Apple web site so I was a bit surprised that it
started with this problem. I assume this version has been released
It seems to me that the default height and width should be tiny rather
than large so that users could resize the window rather than having to
learn the above.
I agree that I should learn more about customization but its not trivial
for me to go from a problem about the height of the window to the elisp
form:
(setq default-frame-alist '((width . 100)
(height . 38)))
It's a big improvement over the standard emacs that comes on the Mac so
I'm very grateful for all the help
