OK I fixed the SlyEdit issue by setting the User Default # of lines to Auto
detect. SyncTerm detects 80x25 as 24 lines and conquest will not load. Changing
it to 25 in User Defaults mucks up SlyEdit. As IMO SyncTerm is the go to
terminal program for BBS, I don't think it is workable to expect end users to
know to set their terminal to 80x28. The game should run in what ever the
default setup is for SyncTerm which is 80x25, User Defaults on auto detect 24
lines. Unless I am seriously missing something here.
