The problem is that when Stevie checks for the screen size (by the
ACTION_DISK_INFO method), I guess AUX: must return garbage (some really big
number). One way around this (with version 3.6) is to set the number of
lines with the enviroment variable EXINIT. As well, if your terminal
doesn't support the same codes as the Amiga does for turning the cursor on
and off, you'll have to use some file zapping program to replace those
codes with NULL's. 

I'll add code to Stevie to check for silly screen sizes so that it will be
usable with AUX: without the above hacks.
