Yes, I am well aware that the library function does indeed invoke this
extended (EGA/VGA) bios call.  In fact, it even returns the correct number
of rows on the screen!

BUT.. in the library routines that I have (TC 2.00), the initialization 
routine then promptly discards this value without ever making use of it.
This results in the default of 19h being used instead.

These are also facts.  Who's arguing, anyway?

As my original query stated, perhaps YOU have a newer version of the library
in which this bug has already been fixed.  What version of Turbo-C do you have?
Would it be  2.01, perhaps?  Mine is an early copy of 2.00.

Also, the model I'm using for this is the "compact" memory model.
