   I'm using MS-DOS 3.3 and I have VGA.  I want to set the number of
lines to 44 to make use of the Hi-Res VGA fonts.  I have used the setmode
command that came with the video adapter and this loads the proper
font but, the screen doesn't scroll properly.  The systems still seems
to be using 24 lines.  So, I'm assuming that there is a DOS call I
have to make to set the number of lines on the screen.
   Does anyone know how to do this?  Thanks.
