Not that it really matters, but I've found a much easier way to do that
under SunOS via the stty command.  Simply:

stty rows <#rows> columns <#columns>

And "voila", you've just set your screen to whatever size you want..

I don't know if that applies to other flavors of Unix, but it works
under SunOS.  Much cleaner than modifying the termcap...

C'ya,
Jim
