Re: [cxterm-devel] change screen rows (25) in cygwin

[<ho...@ya...>]

I tried it on Linux (Mandrake 9.0 2.4.19-16mdk) and
found,
- resize works automatically and manually
- VI works 
- "stty rows" works
- lynx rows and display are messy if the default
terminal is "xterm". However, after I use "cxterm -tn
rxvt -geometry 80x40" or "cxterm -tn vt220 -geometry
80x40", it seems working correctly.

For now I have not tried the latest cygwin.
