Here's how to do it:
First, you'll need to add some of the following to your termcap entry:

d1|vt100-32|dec-vt100-32|vt10032|dec vt100-32:\
        :li#32:is=\E[1;32r\E[32;1H\E[?7h:tc=vt100:
d1|vt100-48|dec-vt100-48|vt10048|dec vt100-48:\
        :li#48:is=\E[1;48r\E[48;1H\E[?7h:tc=vt100:
d1|vt100-48-132|dec-vt100-48-132|dec vt100-48-132:\
        :co#132:tc=vt100-48:

(This assumes that vt100 is defined already which should be the case.)
Standard vt100 assumes 24 lines. The above adds entries for 32x80, 48x80 (good
for portrait displays), and 48x132 (you'll need a two page display unless you
plan on using a 7 pt font for this one).

I like to use a 32x80 window, so in a csh I would type:
set term=vt100-32; tset; stty rows 32
Your mileage may vary.

What's the status of ZTerm 0.90, Dave?
