Summary:
	If you need to change the number of lines on your terminal, such
	as to use the EGA 43 lines mode, there are 3 things to try:
	   (First adjust your terminal to the new mode)
	 
		1) set li# (lines) or co# (columns) in the 'termcap' database
			to the appropriate #s.

		2) set the corresponding parameters in the 'terminfo' database
			to the appropriate #s.

		3) do a 'stty rows #' where # is the number of rows/lines.
			do a 'stty columns #' where # is the number of columns.

			Some systems just use environment variables for these, if
			they (or similar ones) are set in your environment, change
			them also.

	It seems all I needed was the 'stty rows/columns' thing; I'm typing 
	this on a 132x43 screen, now all I need are some glasses...
