They should be derived from the curses (or whatever) screen size.
Lynx can pick up the screen size from a SIGWINCH if it's properly
configured (I was looking at this last week), but it's not designed
to resize on-the-fly (in fact, the endwin/refresh path for resizing
isn't properly supported in Lynx, either -- so I gather that the
whole screen sizing code was added as an afterthought).

it really shouldn't be "many places".
