xterm -geometry 80x18 -e 'less -N /var/log/Xorg.0.log'

Why 18 to get 15 lines?  One line for the less prompt, maybe two for
the title bar on my system.


        EGAD!  Did I _really_ type 80x18?  I *,EANT* 80x48 which is the
        size of my Konsoles.  Some reason, do not know, my mind gets
        Way ahead of my fingers.

You didn't, I did. An 80x18 geometry xterm provides 16 lines of text, one for the less prompt.
