Actually, the 132-column screen is 27 lines, not 24.

And every emulator that's even worth accepting as a gift has the setting
(and most have the option of mapping the keyboard to approximate a real
terminal, and of remapping colors, and of emulating a monochrome terminal
instead of a color one, and maybe even turning column separators off when
in color mode); they're just not all in the same place from one emulator
to another.
