hmm, I'm getting 27 lines (at a maximum line length of 79 characters) as
output of the 'l' command  here - even if I resize the xterm to 20x80
characters.
OTOH, the main help output via the 'm' command uses 38 lines.  Shouldn't
you also have issues with that one in your environment?

Have a nice day,
Berny
