# 
# Hi, all,
# 
# 	I'd very much like to get my console screens running at 43 or
# 50 lines like I'm supposed to be able to do.  I've tried 2 things:
# 
# 	1) set term=cons50
# 	2) vidcontrol VGA_80x50
# 
# Usually, vidcontrol gets upset at that point, saying "invalid mode."
# Can anyone help me out here?

	First of all you need to load screen fonts
	of size 8x8 (and probably 8x14)
	for this to work.

	With best regards -- Andrew Stesin.
