I have been trying to set the environmental variables LINES and COLUMNS.   
 However, when I try...

cowsrus:/root>setenv LINES 48
cowsrus:/root>setenv COLUMNS 132
cowsrus:/root>env
TERM=vt100
HOME=/root
SHELL=/bin/tcsh
LOGNAME=johnam
USER=johnam
<bunch of junk omited>
DISTDIR=/cdrom/ports/distfiles
LINES=24
COLUMNS=80

Why can't I change them!  I noticed that this only happens from a telnet   
and console session, setting them in an xterm works.

Any ideas?
