Resizing a terminal window

[J. David Boyd]

I'm using Cygwin to provide my own X server, and using Xterms locally,
and to connect to remote servers.

Locally, I can use the mouse to resize a window, and the $COLUMNS and
$LINES variables are automatically filled in.

On many remote xterm sessions, they aren't.

Does anyone have any idea where to start figuring out what is wrong, and
what I can do to correct it?

My quick work-around is to resize the window, then call "eval `resize`",
but I would like it to be automatic.

TIA,

Dave in Largo, FL
