   Sorry.  I misread your question and answered as if you had asked about   
   Alt-Space.    I also don't know the term  true character mode.

   Right.  It's not a box, but the full screen.   In my XP system, however,   
   the characters were a bit fuzzy and maybe wider, giving less on the   
   screen,  plus there is no vertical (or horiz) scroll bar, which I found   
   useful in reviewing XXCopy's list of files that did not get copied.   
      
   Last Sunday my XP system failed.  I spent a lot of Monday trying to   
   repair it (another thread I hope to start) and Monday night  I moved to   
   my only spare computer that had a HDD and an OS.  A friend who upgraded   
   his office gave me a Dell Vista computer,   
      
   and now in Vista when I try to do Alt-Enter, I get  "This system does   
   not support fullscreen mode".   This is with Start | run | cmd or a   
   shortcut that calls tcc/le.  (I have no bat files except autoexec.bat   
   which doesn't pause in the middle, and whose box disappears right away)

   >>corner?     I think so, so yes, it remembers.   Hmmm.  I haven't checked

   If only we could have a format with the best of all 3 possible formats!   
   (JK, I'm pretty much satisfied, at least if it remembers the width in   
   the next windows session.)
