Yes.  The way to do it is to click in the zoom box on the right side of
the title bar, thus zooming the window while it is active, resize the window to 
whatever you want it to be when in the background (or when you click on
the zoom box), and save the settings.  Voila!

The zooming is useful in other ways.  I have 2 monitors, one 19" and one 13";
I normally use VersaTerm with the terminal window covering the smaller monitor,
"Multifinder Zooms" turned off (in "Extras..."), and use the zoom box to give
myself a huge screen covering my entire 19" monitor (very useful in the VMS
debugger) when I want it.  Thus, I can easily toggle between two pre-defined
screen sizes at will.
