`window' is a great program for squeezing 2 (or more) windows out of 1 tty on 
the 4 usable pc532 netbsd ttys,
but it's very tight, squeezing into a 24*80 screen ....

Anyone (like me :-) enjoying the luxury of a large screen front end to
pc532-netbsd (in my case via an svga i486 running FreeBSD + X-Windows )
can get round the small window problem by applying a patch like this:

Then do this:
	cd /usr/src/share/termcap
	make -i		# -i because my nroff is broken (pc532/gcc 2.5.8 games)
		su
		make -i install
	setenv TERM vt_100_l57		# perhaps put this in ~/.login
	Create ~/.windowrc with
		window row = 0, nrow = 28
		window row = 29, nrow = 57, label = "Window"
	window
	setenv LINES 28			# inside each new window

PS
It seems vi is quite happy with a simple 
	setenv LINES 28
but I couldn't condition `window' to know what size glass screen it was
operating in, any more simply than as shown above.
If I've blindly missed a simpler way, I'd be happy to hear it.
