In the BIOS data area (0:400h - 0:506h) there are many strange and
wondrous bits of information.  Included in this are locations that
contain the number of rows and columns on the currently active screen.

Since these are used by the BIOS for linewrap and scrolling, they
are (almost) always correctly maintained by anything that changes
the screen mode.
