    You might try hacking up the termcap entry of a aaa terminal.
    I used Telix's VT100 mode, switched the video to display
    50 lines in the misc options, then when I logged into xenix
    set a term type of 'aaa48db'. I could actually edit a file
    in 50line mode. There where some wierd scrolling at the bottom
    though.
