This is those uw users who have to work with 4.2 BSD or programs on
4.3 BSD that don't know about window resizing.  "big" is for 7-point font,
enlarged window, "small" is for default, "rows" and "columns" have the 
obvious effect.  Put it in your ".cshrc".  It won't work for those who have
an enlarged screen with more than 100 rows or columns, but I haven't heard of
such a beast yet.

alias rows 'setenv TERMCAP "`setenv|sed -n -e s,li#..,li#\!*, -e s,TERMCAP=,,p`"'
alias columns 'setenv TERMCAP "`setenv|sed -n -e s,co#..,co#\!*, -e s,TERMCAP=,,p`"'
alias big 'rows 36;columns 90'
alias small 'rows 24;columns 80'
alias tiny 'rows 5;columns 20'  #(just kidding)
