|In SCO Xenix 2.3.1 see vidi(C). For example:
|
|	vidi  e80x43
|
|should put your EGA or VGA card into 80 columns by 43 rows mode. 
|
|You could put this in your .profile/.login. You will also want to modify
|your termcap/terminfo database to add an ansi 43 line entry so that things
|like vi know about it.

Note: if you use a Wyse 450/Amdek 132 and a Wyse 550 Monochrome VGA monitor,
this is broken on SCO 386 Xenix 2.3.1.  Wyse and SCO have both been informed
of this, and are working on it.

So is setcolor(C).
