remove vim bottom line? with mode, line, column, etc

Is it possible?..

I mean the most bottom line of screen, to get just full terminal screen of buffer lines.

This is not the line controlled by the laststatus variable.

If you try

:set cmdheight=0

or

:set cmdwinheight=0

It says it has to be a positive integer. So my guess would be no.

[edit]

On a second look at this link, it appears this first command did work for someone. I can't duplicate it, however (gvim or vim on a pc).

Apparently no, you need at least one line available for ex commands. You can disable the mode message and ruler if you like with:

:set nosmd   " short for 'showmode'
:set noru    " short for 'ruler'

But the line will still be there.
