I use X on many platforms, where the number of lines seems to default
to 65 regardless of the size of the window I use.  tput shows this number
and vi :set all shows the window size similarly.  How does one set the
appropraite number of lines (I know in vi I can :set window).
pg even has problems.  The only solution I have found is to set TERM to
vt100 which seems to set 24 lines, which I can live with, even if my
window is larger.  Any ideas?

Thanx in advance...
