Well, Lynx definitely can run on an 80*24 screen. I run it all the time from
home on my Apple IIGS.  (Well, through a shell connection..)

You mean the top row isn't directly accessible, right?  Not that it's
a "status bar" that pops up when you hit a key or something?  If it's not
directly accessible, and "line 1" (or 0, I don't know how curses numbers 
lines) isn't ever printed to when you move the cursor to "the top of the
screen"... then setting LINES to 24, and doing a tset, will work just
fine.

If the top line *is* actually accessible, I don't know how you can make
it ignore the top line.
