   What you need is a replacement for your ANSI.SYS. On my machine I
 set the number of lines to 50 and got the same problem. So instead
 of using ANSI.SYS from DOS, I got NNANSI.SYS. It's a replacement for
 ANSI that supports EGA and VGA. You can find it on SIMTEL, or 
 wuarchive.wustl.edu., as well as many other places (ftp, BBS, etc).
   NNANSI is actually only one of them. There are many replacements
 that will do the same thing out called VANSI, etc.....
