Windows command prompt window size configuration

For multi-byte text, use a layout that corresponds to one of the standard text mode layouts for a Windows console, especially when you are using RF at a Windows command prompt. Using something too narrow on Windows operating systems causes truncation of some of the visible text. The text is still there but just not visible if your layout is defined to be too narrow or too short.

Error messages displayed in Meta RF are wrapped at one of the standard text mode borders, which are 40 or 80 columns. If you have configured your Cmd.exe window layout for a width other than one of these three standard text mode widths, you may observe visually truncated text.
