On terminfo systems (at least v5), you can simply set the environment
variable LINES and COLUMNS to make this now-common transformation.  I 
set:

setenv TERM vt100
setenv LINES 47

Form my vt100-emulator on my Amiga, and it works great.  (This is being used
on an HP Unix system, but I am told that it is a standard sysV feature.)
