Thanks for the response Igor!

It happens whether running a command window with bash or running an xterm;
the fact that it happens in and out of xfree made me wonder if it was a
cygwin issue.

If I open a 32-row xterm and rlogin into a unix machine, then run vim or
mutt or less, these apps think the bottom of the screen is at row 24 ...
they don't use the rows beyond that.

I'm using WinXP-pro; I get the problem when I rlogin into RedHat 7.2
or SunOS 5.8 machines.  It doesn't matter if I use an xterm, rxvt, or cmd
window.

Thanks again,
