I'm using TRN to read my news, and would like to set it up so that
I can read 43 lines of text, since I'm bbsing in a 43 line mode... How can
that be setup?  I figure there's got to be some way to get it to page every
43 lines, instead of 25.

        Thanks in advance.

You need to use the proper termcap, since that's where the number
of lines is set.  You might try copying the ansi or ansi-new
termcaps, setting li#43, and then using that.

Would that be something we set for our local id here on grex?

I, too, have more video resolution than is supported.  132x50, I believe.
I'm running Linux, and my terminal session is basically in the upper left
80x25 columns/rows.  It seems to be set by grex, too.

Open computing is such fun!

 :-/ My own termcap.  Will that work for vi also, since once I leave vi,
it leaves me with a 25 line window, and not the 43 line left over from
before.

I just set my termcap to sco43.  That seems to do a good job of it.

Actually.. it doesn't work with vi, but works with my news reader.

The SCO ANSI emulation is not "real" ANSI; it probably will only work
with a SCO Unix/Xenix console.

You could also try doing "stty columns xx rows yy", but I'm not sure
whether applications will pay attention to that.

I have my termcap set to vt102-42 (supplied to the systme by remmers,
I think) and that works with both vi and trn.

vt102-42.  I'll look into that later.. I'm on a 25 line system right now,
so it doesn't help me at all now :-/

A plain vt102 termcap should work okay if you're using a decent vt102
emulator.

I've got the vt102 emulator for telix, so I should be okay.
This just reminded me to change that all now.
