Ah... *now* I see it! Thanks.
IMHO, the file gnu\texinfo4.0\djgpp\README could benefit from a note to
this effect (in section 2d). I had figured the only way to prevent a
video switch was to set INFO_LINES to match the actual display.

I agree 25 lines is too few, but actually I used to be continually
annoyed at how info would switch my console _down_ to 40 lines.
FWIW, I also find the default of white on black far easier on the eyes
than white on blue (which I now see gets set up in djgpp.env). It's all
a matter of taste though I suppose.
