     The man page for xterm indicates that the xterm window will
resize automatically in response to the DECCOLM escape sequence
if xterm is started with option "-132".  Similarly, the xterm 
window menu offers a choice between automatic resizing and
fixed-size operation.

     On my IRIS, running IRIX 3.2, I cannot get xterm to resize
automatically when DECCOLM is sent from a VAX connected by
Ethernet running TCP/IP.  Does anyone know where the escape
sequence is getting lost?  Or is this a bug in 3.2 xterm?

     Thanks in advance.
