I use several different programs that use a different number of screen 
lines.  For instance, my word processor uses 50 lines, but other programs
use only 25.  I find that when programs switch back to the 25-line mode 
(even when just returing to DOS), the cursor is now halfway up the character
instead of beneath it.  While just a cosmetic error, it does prove to be
annoying in some applications.
    I am running on a Commodore PC 40-III (286 machine), with an ATI VGA 
card in it.
    Please e-mail solutions to me.  I will summarize if necessary.
