While this may be true about Ed currently, it is not true about
Win32 Console applications in general. Win32 Console
applications can change the number of displayed rows and columns.
In the Win32 API, See:
SetConsoleScreenBufferSize and SetConsoleWindowInfo
As long as an appropriate font is selected (unfortunately, there
is no documented API to change the font of a Console window), you
can display however many rows and columns you want.
If the rows or columns exceed the size of the display, Windows
will put scrollbars on the Console window - depending on the type
of application, not always what you would want.
