Interesting. The command prompt window height I was using is actually 40,
which should be plenty. In the past, I've been able torun SCFG from the same
sized command prompt window. When SCFG would run successfully, I think it
would resize the command prompt window down to what it needed.

I didn't see that error displayed.

The command prompt I was using was 100 characters wide and 40 characters tall.
(I've configured that as my default command prompt size.) I tried the 3
different -i options: -iW generated the same error, -iA seemed to run and
displayed ANSI codes (I don't have an ANSI driver loaded, so I only saw the raw
ANSI codes), and -iD also ran successfully (and it had a more plain text
interface).
