I don't know where to find "morerows", but you can use "pprefs" from
Fish Disk 242 to set your non-interlaced standard screen from 640 x 200
to whatever size your monitor will handle.  Caution:  Some misbehaved
software may crash in this environment.

If you use W. Hawes' "ConMan" and specify something like con:0/0/700/250/,
that is definitely (well, I don't know your monitor) larger than your screen,
then the con: (= ConMan) window will open at full screen size.  If further,
you make it borderless and gadgetless, you can maximize the number of rows
and columns of text in your shell windows.  Finally, if you want one more
row (at the top), you can get rid of the title bar (except for those times
when the window is activated) by sending the proper escapes (check the
RKM) to con:. -- that is echoing them in the window.
