	I found this program on a local BBS.  The program is called
'morerows'.  It modifies preferences allowing you to (assuming your monitor
can handle it) make the workbench screen physically larger.  The program
should be called from a CLI or shell.  Without arguments it displays the
current 'additional' rows and columns.  The BBS text got munged so I don't
know the author, but the program can also take arguments:

	morerows -rows 35 -columns 64

	Seems to give the best results says the text file.  This means you
get 235 (470) rows by 664 columns on a normal display.  After you run the
command, you must run preferences:
	
	preferences
	(Move the screen to the upper left hand corner as far as it will go)
	(SAVE to disk)
	Reboot the machine (Ctl-A-A)

	I.E. 'morerows' relies on preferences to save the information to
disk so your boot does the right thing.  Note that once you reboot, you can
use preferences again to center the enlarged screen properly.  Using the
example above, my new workbench screen's columns barely fit on my Sony
monitor, and the rows go off the bottom (whoopie!).  The best thing about 
this is that now I can have 80 columns in normal windows!.

	That isn't 664 columns.  Actually, you can get 704 columns (these are
the kind of corrections you love to make).  I am currently writing this from an
Amiga with a 704 column 470 (interlace) row screen.  My monitor, A Sony KV-1311CR,
can handle the full horizontal width, but rows >460 (230 noninterlace) are off the



	IBM CGA? EGA? HA! 

	More seriously, though, since sprite DMA normally occurs after the 
column 640, increasing the horizontal resolution reduces the slots available
for sprites, and thus sprites 6 and 7 don't work on the workbench screen.  
But then again... the only programs I know of that actually use sprites on the
workbench screen are demos (e.g. zoing), so I don't think this one minor 
problem will matter much.
