- I just upgraded from the X11R3 that came with ISC 2.2.1 to XFree86.
-
- The problem I'm having is that XFree xterms don't set the LINES
- environment variable like the X11R3 xterms did. This causes things like
- vi and more to think I have a very large window when I don't.
-
- Other systems seem to use the rows setting of stty, but ISC, at least
- in my version doesn't support rows.
-
- Anyway I can get this set automatically? Its a pain to have to remember
- to type setenv LINES all the time.
