Tame and screen length



On the off-chance anyone else is having this problem to which I found a
solution.
I have a screen length of 43 lines set both in Xy and in Tame. In some
circumstances, particularly in XP Mode under Win 7, shelling to DOS and
returning makes something go wrong such that I'm back to 25 lines, though a
leftover 18 rows of "dead" lines still shows onscreen. Even though VA/NV
$SL shows 43, as does VA/NV SL (without the $), the solution is to command:
d sl=43
then do a function sw f (can command: func sw and then type f).

In XPL:

XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]
[BX_]d sl=43[Q2_];*;[cr|lf][BX_]wait[Q2_];*;[cr|lf][SW_]f
-nd
XPLeNCODE

Do this just before EXiting.
It comes up all the time, not just when shelling to DOS, so I have assigned it to keystroke alt-f:

Table=ALTX
33=bx,d, ,s,l,=,4,3,q2,sw,f

For what it's worth.
