I use SCO's "vidi" command to induce 43-line mode on 8 out of my 12
multiscreens. This requires two changes:

	The kernel must be recompiled, changing SCRNMEM in
	/usr/sys/conf/space.inc to be 60H, (or better, letting
	/usr/sys/conf/configure do that for you, and answering "96"
	as the No. of K of screen memory -- for more 43-line screens,
	increase it).

	A different TERM setting. Instead of "ansi", my 43-line screens
	use "an43", and the definition of that in /etc/termcap is:

	an43:
		:li#43:tc=ansi:
--
