   I gathered that actually when I saw the box, it's still not 80 across,   
   anywhere near so I suppose I might bump it up but that isn't the real   
   problem ATM

   Don't really understand what you mean here. Do you mean in the window size   
   part I should keep changing the values until the scroll bar disappears?   
   I tried a few different values but couldn't get rid of them. Surely there   
   should be just some way of getting it to 80x24? That what it used to default   
   to unless you did a MODE CON COLS/LINES

   Hmm... what I've read about Android thus far (only the wiki-page !) said   
   that Android is coded in C, C++, Assembly language. Hmmm... can't find   
   that quote any more. The main problem I've got is my phone (Sony Experia L3)   
   doesn't seem to want to give me root access. I can't even access the stupid   
   root directory or any of my usual files only some sub-directory deep in   
   the sticks. After experiencing the process of trying a simple copy from   
   a Windows machine to my phone and finding that the thing regularly crashes   
   even doing that I'm thinking of getting another phone anyway (Motorola Lenovo   
   G6), I'm not going to put a SIM card into it, I just want to use it   
   as a machine to play MP4s on and maybe it won't suffer from the same   
   problems with copying files. (Can I run a phone okay without a SIM BTW?)   
      
   You can also get MSDOS running on your phone. Have you seen that app yet?
