OK, I've tried to RTFM and I still can't find it.

How can I set the size of the xdosemu window at opening?  I know I can 
"stretch" it once it's open, but I'd like to specify its size on 
opening.  Thanks for any help.

Kevin,

Yes, you are mostly right.  (I find that) if you specify a font in the 
dosemu.conf file, it will open the window appropriately sized for that 
font.  If you leave the font specification blank, it opens in a smaller 
window which you can then resize using the cursor.

The largest font I could find, vga11x19, is abit too small for my needs. 
  So I'm opting to leave the font spec blank and resize the window.  But 
it would be even better if I could specify the window size I desire from 
the opening.

Any thoughts on how to do that?

I'm unable to resize xdosemu window after I launched it. How can you do this?

Thanks,
Luca

Luca,

Remove the font size specification in dosemu.conf; ie., so that it 
reads: $_X_font = ""
