Let me make a point or two clearer about my prior question:
(1) 43 line text mode works fine, I get 43 lines, and scrolling
works fine...
(2) My program is using GRAPHICS mode, not text mode. The bios
has the ability to put characters onto the graphics screen, as
easily as to the text screen.
(3) 43 line mode works in GRAPHICS mode, but the bios still thinks
it is a 25-line screen. It does use the smaller 43-line-mode
characters, but I cant get to lines > 25. I don't know if there
is a register I need to change or a bios call to make. Anything
that makes the bios recompute the # of text rows should fix the
problem.
Still looking 4 the answer...

But you seem to be lucky, because there is one available in comp.binaries.ibm.pc, in v02i084+085 nethack, ver 2.3e, SUPPORT FILES. It's called NANSI.SYS, and comes along with a *.doc. I have no idean where it originated, but the 43-line-mode works fine. (Of course don't expect `more' to change it's behavior one bit !)
