When I use elm (v. 2.3) under Sun OS 4.0 and sunview,  if I change the
window size (more lines or few lines than the termcap entry),  elm
automatically adjusts the next time it is run.

I'd like to do something similar for a visually-impaired user who is
running NCSA Telnet on her mac SE.  I can tell the mac telnet to set
up a screen of 17 lines with 12 point type rather than 9 point type.

But I haven't figured a way to tell UNIX to tell elm that we now only have
a 17-line screen.

Any ideas?  The host computer in each case is a Sparc running Sun OS 4.0.3.
