A while back, I clipped a little patch for running the EGA card
with Wordstar in the 43 line mode.  I tried it, and it works fine
with version (I think) 3.3 of ws.  I think it appeared somewhere
between #65 and #75 of the 1986 digests.  If anybody is interested,
and can't get it locally, send some mail.

I have the patch for both color and monochrome.  Its about a 15
line script that you put in a file and redirect into the std input
for DEBUG to read.

43 lines sure makes ws a lot more enjoyable to use, 'cause you can
still see a lot and leave the menu on the screen.
