how to set COLS envirronment variable in telnet session 1

[hspoulsen]

Our users have different screen sizes, and we would like to run our application in two different sizes; 24x80 and 30x132 lines/columns.

Our terminal software (K95) supports this. Our software supports this, but need to have two envirronment variables set (LINES and COLS).

I would like our login-script to detect which resolution the K95 is using, and then set the envirronment variables accordingly.

Is this possible?

Kind regards

Insert these 2 lines in .profile
export LINES=`tput lines`
export COLS=`tput cols`

That was fast, and it works too.
Thank you very much.
