Comments
The HEIGHT option is particularly complicated in its dependencies. For A-Shell/Windows and ATE (with any of the "G" emulations), the height may be adjusted from 1 to 50 rows. For remote terminal connections (A-Shell/Unix or ATSD), if the terminal/emulator is AM75, the valid options are 24 and 50. However, if the emulator is ZTERM v144+, and the TERM environment variable is set to "AM75Z", then the valid options are 24-50. The DRIVER option may be used to set the terminal environment variable (which also resets the terminal and internal driver accordingly).
Note that terminal height/width can also be set via the TAB(-5,rows) and TAB(-6,cols) commands.
