* Don't prompt the user for screen dimensions anymore. Nobody is using

  dialup terminals with arbitrary screen sizes anymore; nearly everyone (or
  more likely, *absolutely* everyone) is now using networked displays which
  can be automatically queried for their screen dimensions.  For now, we'll
  keep the screen size properties in the database and in the protocol, but
  the prompts have been commented out.
