	There's a 4K or 5K file in the simtel20 archives that is
	supposed to have examples for setting the video mode to
	25, 43, and 50 lines.  I haven't gotten it and looked at
	it yet, but it may be somewhere for you to start.

	    ftp to:  wsmr-simtel20.army.mil  (26.2.0.74)

	Then change directories to PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN> and get
	the file VIDMODE.ZIP.  Hope this helps.
