Sorry, I just got back to my Mac and it is, indeed "Change Actual Size."
In other words, if you use the aliases I posted earlier to change the
line and column number entries in your environment TERMCAP variable, and
your uw windows are set for "Change Actual Size" then programs on the host
assume the new size, and the Mac goes along with it, even under 4.2BSD.
As far as I know, this trick should work with any program that looks up 
the terminal size under the TERMCAP entry.  Of course, resizing the window
while the program is running is out of the question, after all, it's still
a 4.2 host...
