Change Terminal Rows in .tfrc

Hi all! I run aBSiNTHE BBS absinthebbs.net port 1940. It's abadass Amiga BBS. I've managed to interface it with the Amiga port of Tinyfugue 4.0 Stable 1 and it's great.
So my question is this: currently it always assumes the height is 24 even if someone is calling in with an Amiga terminal which supports 30 column height. I understand that Tinyfugue gets the screen height from the terminal type, but is there a way to set it to a custom height in a world's .tfrc? If there is I'm going to write an AREXX script on launch that will get the user's term height settings from the board and write it to the .tfrc.
Any help is much appreciated! :)

This has been long solved. You can use environmental variables in addition to other methods. Also, we now run a custom TF 5.0 beta 8. :)
Curious to see your custom version, if you don't mind showing. Been working on integrating various community patches, as well as doing plenty of my own work updating, Mostly going for stability and making sure it still compiles on modern systems, but a few new features have been added. UTF8 being the big one.

Pardon, I should have added that our port is: 1940.

Sure thing, you can see it in action on absinthebbs.net as part of our new
Textworlds system. Sign in with Syncterm(make sure to set "Hide Status
Line" to "YES" in Syncterm's aBSiNTHE profile) and enter "Text" at any
prompt. Our frontend takes care of setting the terminal dimensions for
Tinyfugue, the customizations to the source itself are minimal, just two
things: 1) detecting when a user has dropped carrier(disconnected from the
board) in order to exit cleanly and 2) gives the user a notification in
Tinyfugue itself when he has recieved a instant message or mail on the BBS.
The next version of Textworlds has a custom Macro system that's really
cool, it should be out soon.
I hope you get the chance to stop by and check it out! It's also the best
interactive fiction system available on any BBS. You'll see what I mean. :)
Not a lot of people at all use it, but this was a dream project of mine.
That's the nature of being a BBS dev in 2021.
