I'm TRYING to learn emacs 18.55 under csh.  One of the problems I have
is I can't get emacs to recognize the number of lines my terminal has.
I telnet from my PC (which has 50 lines but is otherwise VT-100) to 
my UNIX host.

I use STTY ROWS 50 and vi happily uses all my screen.  I heard that
you have to either reference the termcap entry with the TERM environment
variable, or set TERMCAP equal to the termcap entry that you want.

So I copied the VT-100 entry, changed the number of lines parameter,
and that doesn't work either.

Personally, I think the emacs manual sucks.  It desperately needs a quick
reference section, it's not really well organized, and it's missing some 
important information.  

At least my IBM VM/CMS XEDIT manuals have all the info, even if you have
to dig for three days.  Emacs seems pretty powerful, though, and I imagine
I'll have to just slog through until I get basic stuff memorized.
