No, frame. I'd like to be able to set my default frame height to "full
height" for the display (filling the display from top to bottom) --
right now I do guesswork to do this, and my .emacs breaks when I
switch to a new display.

I believe that says how many lines are in an emacs window, not in the
frame if it contains a single window, and either way, what I want is
to know "how high exactly, in lines, would the frame have to be in
order to fill the Y axis of the display fully".
I'm perhaps not explaining this well.
