For 2.3 Xenix vi(C) uses termcap (I think). For termcap
vi(C) add a line to /etc/termcap, after the "ansic" entry:
ansi43:li#43:tc=ansi:
Then set your TERM var to "ansi43".
(and export it if you need to)
3.2 SCO UNIX vi(C) uses terminfo and I don't
have a terminfo vi(C) here at home so I can't
test it, but I suppose you edit /usr/lib/terminfo/terminfo.src
and add a duplicate entry for ansi43 with a "lines#43"
in it. Then run tic(C).

Sorry about no doc on this one. The save screen for a 43 line
screen is larger so you need to increase your save screen memory.
There is a utility in your linkkit called configure(ADM). As
superuser run this program and increase the screen memory
variable. Increase it 4K for every new 43 line screen you want
to add.
