Hi folks,

I was wondering if a Mac user could teach me how to increase ADOM's screen size. If I need to use terminal, i'd appreciate your taking no steps for granted.

Thanks

(sorry - I see someone recently posted a similar question. I did do a search before posting this but failed to see the question right below. Anyway- I still hope to get a very noob-friendly answer, if possible.)

I am not a Mac person at all, but did a little Googeling and I think it may involve setting the COLUMNS and LINES environment variables.

try typing something like this in the terminal:

COLUMNS=<whatever number>
LINES=<whatever number>
export COLUMNS
export LINES

May or may not have to re-laucn the terminal for it to take effect (or it may not work at all, I don't have a Mac to test it on :P).

Thanks for your help. I should rephrase what I am asking for. I don't want more lines and columns (a bigger map). I want the screen magnified. Does that mean changing the text size? Again, I am utterly lost when it comes to knowing how to do that.
