If you want 50-line mode, you need to set that in BlueWave itself as well.
That can be found in the BlueWave Configuration.

When you first start BW:

1. Select Setup/Configure Mail Reader

2. Move to "Global" at top of screen with arrow keys.

3. Select Video Configuration

4. Go down to "Video Mode" to select it. Press ENTER.

5. Go down to Force 50 line mode at startup and press ENTER.

6. Press ESC until you're back at the main BW screen and Quit BW.

Now Restart BW and you should be in 50-line mode. Apparently it depends on this
setting more than it does with Windows.

However, if your *editor* still ends up in 25-line mode, you'll need to find
the setting in your text editor to change that.
