Can't get any cpmpiler output in PLATO now!

As a result of 'fiddling around' with various buttons in trying to expand the excessively narrow PLATO compiler output window beneath the program code window - I've now 'lost' all compiler output. Can anyone tell me how to get that O/P back please?

(I had to reset my PC system disc recently and re-install the 'Silverfrost' stuff. I had no problems with PLATO before the re-install - the compiler output window was narrow, but still allowed a couple of warning lines. When I tried to re-use PLATO seriously after system disk reset etc, the PLATO compiler o/p window only showed the top of a warning message line - hence me trying to 'fiddle around' to expand the view!)

First try making the Plato application larger on the screen. If this fails then...

Look for a file called plato.ini in C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\SilverFrost\FTN95 replacing Paul with your user name.

Delete it or (if you want to keep other settings) edit it and delete the section headed [Output].

Thank you for the advice! However - I thought it might be better to re-instal PLATO etc, to get the original SilverFrost settings - and that action appears to have solved my problem. I shall be much more circumspect about which buttons I click in future! I didn't loose any stuff because it was in a 'fortranprograms' folder, and the compilation message sub-window is a decent size below the code sub-window, as normal!
