Thanks for the bug report.

The "-2" error indicates a problem with the number of rows in the window (less
than 14). Here's the associated code (where MIN_LINES is 14):

   if(api->scrn_len<MIN_LINES) {
       cprintf("\7UIFC: Screen length(%u) must be %d lines or greater\r\n"
           ,api->scrn_len,MIN_LINES);
       return(-2);
  }

Now, I would expect thaterror message to be displayed too.

I tried to reproduce this problem by setting a command prompt window to 13
rows/lines, butthe code in uifc that automatically increases the window size
to 14 (if detected to be less than 14) kicked in and worked without
