I've never seen that before. That was very nice, it filled the whole screen.

DZ set 25 lines in this case, but if the "Startup: [x] Restore Screen Mode"
is removed, and it try to adapt to this screen, it also terminates.

The editor always tries to fill the whole screen, so this will fail to.
The viewer also fails for the same reason, so there are some issues.

My knowledge of the graphical GUI window is very limited. I'm still in "text-mode", so I need some time to figure out how this works. From the limited testing I have done it appear to be different rules for the GUI window compare to text-mode. Different mouse driver, where you can use the mouse-wheel in graphical mode, but not in text-mode, and the size issue also differ.

Well, I manage to fix the CD and X: commands, and the graphical full screen looks good, so I will see if I at least could adapt to it by extending the screen buffers horizontal as well as vertical.
