How are you dong this?  I found xdb to be the biggest pain in this respect.
I can't adjust the window space to anything larger than 20.  Then again, I'm
doing this on 4.0 so maybe this is another change I can expect with 5.0?  Or
are you referring to the HP-UX version (where I see the LINES & COLUMN
variables are documented).
