Help with SAS Universal Viewer

Ok, I hope this is simple -

Everytime I open a .lst file in Universal Viewer, it opens a small window and I have to resize.

How do I make it default to open a full size window everytime?

I don't use the universal viewer. LST files are basically just text. I would consider using any text viewer/editor such a NotePad, WordPad or even a web browser to view the contents. If you use SAS Monospace Font to generate the files you may want to specify the use of that font in the other program if available.

I think Usage Note 38856 (http://support.sas.com/kb/38/856.html) explains both the behavior you observed and a (cumbersome) workaround: The saved settings (.sasuvw file) are used only if you open a file from within SAS Universal Viewer, but not if you just double-click the file.
