  They are also known as HI50 and HI25.  I'm including them here since
they're so tiny.  uudecode and unarc to extract.  They only work for
TOS and TTP programs in monochrome mode (but, IMHO worth their bits in
gold when using programs that recognise the extra screen resolution...).

end

  PS:  Regarding the original question.  I think gulam either has HI50
built into it or supports the use of HI50 using an environment variable.
Try either::

        set nrows 50
  -or-
        set nrows 50
        hi50

  to invoke 50 line mode under gulam.  (Sorry I don't remember which,
but I rarely use gulam...)  Use whichever works with 25 substituted for
50 to reverse the process.  Again, this only works on a monochrome
screen (although the lines per screen gets real(!) impressive when
using hi50 on a moniterm monitor... :^)

  Note that the use of HI50/HI25 does not require gulam.  You can run
HI50 on any system using a mono monitor, from the desktop or any cli
(command line interface) program and, even though it won't effect the
desktop, it will expand the number of lines per screen (and shrink the
characters) for all TOS or TTP programs run after that until you run
HI25 to reverse the process.
