I can definately live with the 80x25 screen. I've found (through random experimenting, maybe the termcap people can explain this) that, if you run screen in an xterm with the size different from 80x25, the following sequence will make screen adjust its buffer size to the size of the window: - '^AS' to split - '^A^I' to switch windows - '^AX' to kill the bottom window Strangely enough, '^AF' (fit) does not work. Also, the above sequence only works once, i.e., it won't pick up the new size if the window is resized. In fact, the size it picks up is the size of the window at the time screen was started, so if the window is resized while screen is in effect, the starting size will be picked up (even if different from 80x25).
