Window Size
===========

 - Command: width [`-w'|`-d'] [cols [lines]]
     (`C-a W')
     Toggle the window width between 80 and 132 columns, or set it to
     COLS columns if an argument is specified.  This requires a capable
     terminal and the termcap entries `Z0' and `Z1'.  See the `termcap'
     command (Note: Termcap), for more information.  You can also
     specify a height if you want to change  both  values.  The `-w'
     option tells screen to leave the display size unchanged and just
     set the  window  size, `-d' vice versa.

 - Command: height [`-w'|`-d'] [lines [cols]]
     (none)
     Set the display height to a specified number of lines. When no
     argument is given it toggles between 24 and 42 lines display.
