is there a setting to open the window in full screen?

You can get *almost* full screen by going to Options->Properties->Appearance and switching off scrollbars, tool bar, and status bar. When you maximize, the only thing that is left, then, is the title bar of the window and the menu bar. And, if you want to maintain the screen dimensions (say 80x24 screen), you should choose 'Fixed Size' on Options->Properties->VT Options before you maximize.

Is this close enough or are you looking for an entirely full-screen terminal window?

Did this help?

I'm still experimenting. Actually I want to keep the scrollbar & toolbar so the options you mentioned wouldnt apply. If you know of any other way to get the full screen let me know. Generally however I like the program and will try it a bit more before I purchase it. Thanks.

So, when you say 'full screen', what you mean is maximized but without the menu,title, or status bars. Vertical scrollbar and and toolbar would remain?

Actually I would just like a larger screen - in fact not a 'full screen' because I prefer to have the title, menu, toolbars, and vertical scrollbar. In other words, I would like the window to open up at 'maximized' or near max size. This might be an unreasonable request as even IE doesnt always open up maximized. The problem I have is that whenever I open a new folder (telnet to a different switch) the screen comes up small (1/4 size of the 17" screen). That is, when I have one screen open at 'maximized', then I telnet to a different switch, the screen reduces again to the 1/4 size. My solution to these problems now is simply to maximize again, which isnt a big deal, except that I telnet to various switches all day long.
