    The error message you quoted tells you one simple way to work around it: 

    set LINES=40
set COLUMNS=80

      I always knew tye was more brilliant than me, but this one really makes me feel stupid.

      Where in his quoted error message do you see that solution made evident? I must be completely blind.

      As always, the question is most sincere. I really don t see how you came to that conclusion.

        "Unable to get Terminal Size" then "The COLUMNS and LINES environmen­t variables didn't work".

        The "set" lines I showed are how you set environment variables in Windows.

        Is there any other steps from the messages to the solution that still aren't clear to you?
