10.0;vsive (vt100_size), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
vsize (vt100_size) - set/display VT100 window settings.
usage: vsize [-l n] [-c n]



DESCRIPTION
     The vsize command allows you to set the dimensions of the VT100 emulator
     window pane.  This command is valid only from within the VT100 emulator
     (which is invoked with the VT100 command); attempting to use it directly
     from the shell causes an error.

OPTIONS
     If no options are specified, vsize displays the current window pane
     settings.

     -l n Specify the height of the window pane in lines.  If this option is
          omitted, the height remains unchanged.

     -c n Specify the width of the window in columns.  If this option is
          omitted, the width remains unchanged.

     -std Set the height of the window to 24 lines and the width to 80
          columns. This is the same as saying -l 24 -c 80.

EXAMPLES
     Invoke VT100 emulator and  Display current settings.

     $ vt100
     $ vsize
     Screen size is 18 lines by 70 columns.

     Change the width. Exit the emulator and return to the shell.

     $ vsize -c 60
     Old screen size is 18 lines by 70 columns.
     New screen size is 18 lines by 60 columns.
