It actually has 25 lines on the text display, in addition to the 2 status 
lines.  The two main reasons it screws up in vi are that Ultimaterm's tabs are
set 10 spaces apart, instead of 8 as they should be, and a character in the 
80th column causes an erroneous carrige return which winds up putting your
cursor on the wrong line.  This happens no matter what emulation mode you are
in.  I am tempted to disassemble it and fix these minor bugs; they are all
that keep Ultimaterm from being ideal to me.
