Nicely done; the real thanks, tho, goes to MeaTLoTioN of Quantum Wormhole BBS - 
I just often use it to streamline the install process.

One thing you can try to do to get both a full screen mode and the ability to 
drag the window to any size you like - make sure its running in SDL mode. I 
believe the mode you're running in is listed at the top of the syncterm window; 
X11, curses, SDL... SDL gives me the best results.

You can also force syncterm to run by using the following terminal command:

syncterm -iS

syncterm --help <-- will display all options.

You might, however, get a 'CIOLIB error' when trying to run in SDL; happens on 
Ubuntu, and yea... I  sometimes get it working perfectly and on other systems 
not so much. :P
