Subject: pine not using full screen?

Here's a weird problem I'm having:

Pine is not using the full screen available though LINES and TERM set 
correctly.

Details:

I use my computer at home to log in to a mainframe at work which contains
the pine executable.  My comm software is emulating a vt100 using 42 lines.
I log in, set TERM=vt100, export it, set LINES=42, export it.  I suppose
by now you realize the mainframe is running unix.  "vi" works like a charm,
so therefore I'm convinced it's not the emulator, or mainframe settings.
Also "less" also works correctly with these settings.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I haven't seen the Encore port of Pine, but most Unix ports of Pine
consult the terminal device directly via an ioctl and don't consult
environment variables.  If you can't do an "stty rows xx" on your
system, you should ask whomever did the Encore port to make the
necessary changes...
