[Klug-general] TTY config

[David Halliday]

I think you are right, I remember reading some time ago when wanting to have
more than the 80x40 that it was a compile option (at which point I gave
up/felt like the cost of time/effort was greater than the benefit). It might
have been changed more recently (which I assumed from the other posts here)
but since you say this, it does sound like the case that I found previously.
