Subject: vi not picking up xterm window size

Here's another problem that may be simple to fix.  When I start up
vi in an xterm window it doesn't pick up the window row and column
size.  If I manually set lines=nn where nn = the stty rows setting
it works for that instance of vi.  What needs to be done to make vi
automatically pick up the right xterm window size?
