SUMMARY:
This entry explains how to define the font/window size of the Progress 8.3D Character Client(_progres.exe) using a Windows ME desktop icon.
SOLUTION:
To resolve this problem. you'll need to create a desktop icon like the following example: C:\DLC83D\WORK\myicon.bat
Contained within the myicon.bat batch file is the following command line:
C:\DLC83D\BIN\_progres.exe -p my4GLcode.r
Once this is done, you'll need to search your Windows ME system using the MS Windows Explorer utility for the following two files:
FILENAME DESCRIPTION
-------------- ---------------------
1) myicon.bat MS-DOS batch File
2) myicon.bat Performs text-based (command-line) functions
To see the file DESCRIPTION you'll need to make sure the DETAILS option is selected within the MS Windows Explorer utility.
Each of these files has a property sheet where the FONT can be changed. However, you MUST make the font change in the file labeled "Performs text-based (command-line) functions". Once this is done, the icon should fire off the Progress 8.3D character client session using the pre-selected font/window size at startup time.
