Hi, for the "maximum number of lines on screen" option, I would
suggest to change the font to 8x8 if EGA or better is detected.
That will give you at least 43 rows and is much better than nothing.
Extra stuff like going to 50 or 60 rows would need number-of-scanlines
changing, but changing to 8x8 font is pretty simple. To get to 60 text
rows, you would preferrably use VESA.

PS: On most VGA systems you will start out with 8x16 font, so the
switch to 8x8 will indeed give you 50 rows which is very nice...
using 60 or even more rows is more for people with telescopes ;-).

PPS: When LEAVING EDIT, you should make sure to home the cursor. Now
you can end up with the cursor below the screen bottom, needing a CLS
to get it back in range.
