It sets the scrolling region from 1 to (wait for it) 24.  Values that are
too big are clipped to the size of the screen.

What seperates the men from the boys (so to speak) in terminal emulators is
how they handle "incorrect" sequences; scrolling regions that go over the
edge, or which are too small (scolling regions have to be at least 2 lines
on VT100s), etc.
