Thanks doobit..I did get the second drive going as a swap twice the ram size..not much noticable difference but that I can do that now..which is great..and Oh dsl is part of the command? I did not know that..workin on the best possible for this old box..will try on a faster machine later..still need some knowledge..

Pathos..thanks again for the alt clicks..does solve for resize generally..some are just better at 800..so stuck with 800 but know I can switch and reset at will..

btw..how fast does my next machine have to be to pop up the calc in 3 sec..it takes calco a wopping 32 on this config..it is my only real complaint all considered..anyway thanks..

Many applications will use a geometry option to set the size of a window when it starts.  You can either use something like "-g" or -geometry", or add an entry in .Xdefaults for each application you need to force to fit into 640x480.  For example, you could try
Code Sample
emelfm*geometry: 400x300

I couldn't tell you if this will work...it depends on whether the application supports certain resource names.

Thanks..will play with that later..also noticed that I can open the styles as a text file and would like to play with that..currently I am working on access to the second partition..it is there but I can not acess to make dirs and copy or save files..can do this easily in home and home dsl..but think I should have partitioned directory for some of these directories now as I need to archive for reinstalls.the second is on hdc1@130m, hdc2@130m filles the drive as swap. the hda1 is one boot part the drive @420m.room for additions and general personal like..media.not the place for this topic I expect..
