The contents of the DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER-SETUP.COM file:

$ set verify
$ decw$server_page_file== 160000
$ decw$xsize_in_pixels == 1280
$ decw$ysize_in_pixels == 1024
$ define/exec/system/nolog decw$server_pixel_depth   24
$ define/exec/system/nolog decw$server_refresh_rate 75
$ set noverify

Just as an FYI - I redid this tonight on my re-installed 500au and it worked a charm. I set the colour depth to 16 bit and the refresh rate to 60Hz and it works flawlessly. I have a better understanding of the system and how it handles COM files and of EVE as an editor now so maybe that helped. Amazing what some research and a bit of RTFM does for your skills!

Thanks anyhow, I can be a happy DECwindows user on the PSW 500au now :D
