Re: HELP !!!! Simple problem...

Hi, Dhiru.

Aside from what Kenneth Stahl told you, take a look at your 'screen buffer' width in Options. If this is set too low, then your window will only be 'x' characters wide, and you can't scroll far enough to the right to see your data. I generally run with a buffer width of around 1000, but sometimes I get onto someone else's machine where it is set to around 100, and I see exactly what you have described, no matter what the linesize is set to.
