Hello,
I have a question for anybody who is somewhat familiar
with using X-Windows(specifically motif).  I am running 
mwm on my Sun Sparc and got these two files from someone
that allow you to change the window to 80/132 columns.
	The file for changing to 80 col. looks as follows:
		echo "^[[?3l"
	and the file for changing to 132 col. looks as follows:
		echo "^[[?3h"

The '^' followed by '[' is a control character which can be entered
using Ctrl-V.  My question is this:
Are there similar control character commands that allow you to 
change the size of an xterm from the command line? 

Any comments would be appreciated, please reply to email below:

omar.farooq@att.com

Thanx
Omar
