Speaking of terminals, is there a command to set the rows and columns from the system console.

'man stty' for more info. /bin/stty size will give you your current terminal settings. /usr/bin/tput longname will give you the 'name' of the terminal being used, as defined in the /usr/share/terminfo/*/* database. Also see: /etc/termcap. The file: /etc/termcap can be edited. Find the entry for your $TERM. As always, make a backup of the current /etc/termcap, and a 'man termcap' and 'man terminfo' would be useful.
