Paul,

Is there a command to resize the current window that I can issue
from the command line without specifying the window number?  The
command I know is:

window 1,0,0,80,25

Where the first digit in the window number and the next four
specify the corner co-ordinates.  I would like to be able to do
this without specifying the window number.

In short, no. You really ought to be able to command WINDOW ,0,0,80,25
to resize the current window, but you can't. This is easy enough to
work around with XPL, though. Here's frame WINDOW (DEC<Helpkey>
decodes; same is also attached):

XPLeNCODE v2.0 (ENCODE.EXE)
b-gin [UNTITLED]
{123}{123}5window{125}{125} Resize the current window {091}CLD
{093}[cr|lf]{002}{<}IF{<}VA|50{>}>0{>}{<}SX51,{<}VA$WN{>}{>}[BX_]
window {<}PV51{>},{<}PV50{>}[Q2_]{<}EX{>}{<}EI{>}{<}PRWINDOW l
eft,top,width,length<Helpkey>{>}{002}[cr|lf][cr|lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE


PS to the list: If I'm scarce around here over the weekend it's because
I'm away -- so don't picture me swinging from a noose or anything
(though I confess I've entertained the image several times in the last
few days).
