gnome-terminal how-to set lines/rows?

Using gnome-terminal to run an old terminal application which uses "PC" 80x25 screen layout. There doesn't seem to be a way to set the rows/columns values, and the default is 24 lines/rows instead of 25, so the bottom line/row is missing.

How to set it to 25?

not sure about the gnome-term but it's usually -geometry
as in `xterm -geometry 80x25`

cheers

in gnome-terminal, type xterm -geometry 80x25

it will open a new xterm window with those dimensions.
