Hi Ralph...

Take a look at the two command below.
The first will give you your terminal size in lines, columns.
IF your terminal can do it, (xterm for example), the second will auto adjust it for you...

Code:
term_size=($( stty size ))
printf "%b" "\x1B[8;24;80t"

The 24 and 80 in the 'printf' statement can be anything to ALMOST the size of your desktop...
