 I used to have a patched network code that used to recoqnize terminal
size by issuing telnet query. I implemented it directly to the
driver code, MudOS does this too, so you could take a look how they did it
and do the same on DGD. I had a callback back to the user object when the
size was received so I didn't need to introduce new kfuns and if the size 
was modified it went to the mudlib, too.
