Re: set-frame-parameter

[steve-humphreys]

Have used "emacs -Q" as instructed.

Then executed the following three commands, one after the other.

The last command beeps the frame to fullheight.

(set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'fullscreen 'fullboth)
(set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'fullscreen 'fullheight)
(set-frame-size nil 58 13)
