1) My eyesight isn't what it used to be. How do I get a larger X cursor
/ mouse pointer?

2) On Gentoo, vim would return to the line where it had been when I left
the previous edit session. In Devuan. vim always starts at the first
line. Also, when editing a bash script, if a line is indented, hitting
{RETURN} will result in the new line indented; not on Devuan. How do I
get that back?

3) Speaking of bash scripts, I ran into something not-so-minor today,
which prompted this message. Environmental variables ${LINES} and
${COLUMNS} exist at the commandline, but not in a bash script. Typing

echo ${LINES} ${COLUMNS}

...at the commandline works, but the script

#!/bin/bash
echo ${LINES} ${COLUMNS}

...returns nothing. This happens in xterm and urxvt under X, and even
in a textmode console outside of X. This kills a script of mine that
USED TO WORK under Gentoo.

I'm not here to slag Devuan. I'm merely asking how to add/restore
certain functionality.
