John,

Try going into Change a Program, and be sure the "Writes directly to 
screen" and (if you want to run the programs in a DV window) 
"Virtualize test/graphics" fields are set to Y.  Then, go to the 
second screen, and set "Maximum rows" to 43.  I've tried this with 
WordPerfect 5.0 running under DV 2.26, with a *V*GA, and it works OK.
I presume the same applies to Sidekick+, but haven't tested it.

By the way WordPerfect works fine in 25-line mode with the "Writes directly to 
screen" and "Virtualize test/graphics" fields set to N.  Indeed, this 
is the optimum setting in this case, since screen writes are faster.
