Description

The RESIZE WINDOW command changes the size of a window that has been previously defined with the DEFINE WINDOW command, and activated with the ACTIVATE WINDOW command. Resizable windows are specified by including the GROW keyword in the DEFINE WINDOW command. The <window-name> is the name of the window as specified in the DEFINE WINDOW command.

The RESIZE WINDOW command changes the size of a window according to the ordinates specified by numeric expressions <expN1> - <expN4>. The numeric expressions refer to the top and bottom rows, and the left and right columns, respectively. The ordinates are relative to the window's current position, not to the entire screen. Depending on the numeric expression a negative ordinate will resize the window to the left or up, and a positive ordinate will resize the window to the right or down.
