        The slang library has it's own functions for getting the screen
rows and columns, and rechecks them every time a page is drawn, in case
there was a screen size change.  Lynx simply uses the values which the
slang library returns, and can't do otherwise.  First, be sure you have
a current version of the slang library, and if you do, contact it's
developer, John Davis, about your problem on HP-UX 9.05.
