I use 50-line mode on my VGA for just about everything I do.  I recently
started using DESQview (v2.25), and found that I couldn't get 50-line mode
to work.  When I call DV, it automatically switches into 25.  If I use 
DOS' mode co80,50 from a window, it loads the 8x8 font, but still only uses
25 lines, and even programs that normally ignore that (MS-Kermit, for
example) are unable to access the bottom half of the screen.  Several things
in the DV manual mention 50-line mode (memory allocation for text screens
and such), but nothing tells me how to get into it.  Help!
