Oh great! :-( another useless change - I wonder why it wasn't caught in the
discussion on "hackers"? :-) I have never run into that option of stty.
Since the other part of the change is still good ('help' does not pause
after displaying it's screen), would you think that it is better to retract
and resubmit this PR with the LINES and COLUMNS changes removed, or just
leave them in as another (redundant) way of doing the same thing?
(Feeling a little sheepish).
