   Of course, if you are content to work with 25-line-high windows, there   
   is a trick that works.   
      
   Set your IDE to 80*50, open file A once and file B three times, and   
   tile.  They will tile two-by-two, and you'll necessarily have an   
   instance of B beside the instance of A.   
      
   If you're running in real DOS, it does not take too long to get used to   
   the initially-strange font; if you're running in a Windows DOS box, you   
   can select any font size within reason, and some without.   
      
   There should be a way of getting a Windows DOS box 132 columns wide; but   
   I don't know it.   
      
   Changing from the traditional 80*25 might be worth a mention in the   
   mini-FAQ ???  I always use 80*50 boxes in Windows now, and often 80*50   
   in BP in DOS.
