If you have the standard vt100 and ansi terminal definition all you 
need to do is setup the LINES and COLUMNS environment variables to 
the appropriate values and use the vt100 or ansi TERM.

If your version of terminfo does not support LINES and COLUMNS, you
can create a terminfo entry that contains something like the following:

ansi_132|Ansi 132 col by 43 line display,
	lines#43,
	cols#132,
	use=ansi,

this uses the ansi definition overriding the lines and columns parameters.

I *believe* the same capability exists in termcap.
