Yes, it is very clear what you want. The answer is no. You cannot invoke a command inside a terminal window controlling a remote shell to change the size of the existing window.

The operations of the remote shell are completely independent from the operations of the local graphical user interface that support (and sizes) windows on that machine.

If the local machine was UNIX and you were running X windows, you could invoke the X terminal window with a command to minimize (control the size) and move (control the location) of the X windown BEFORE the remote session is established.

This cannot be done with any Windows telnet program, to my knowledge. With X windows, you get a fine degree of control over these kinds of things. Your problem is a Windows98 GUI problem.... this has nothing to do with the shell program running on a remote platform.

NAME

       times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell

SYNOPSIS

   sh
       times

   ksh
       times

DESCRIPTION

   sh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.

   ksh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.

       On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:

       1.  Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.

       2.  I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.

       3.  Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.

       4.  Words,  following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
	   able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation  are  not
	   performed.
