Or to go further, alias (or write a script in sh) which doesd the trick
for you EACH TIME you start vi/emacs/whatever-term-size-dependent
For csh this is:

alias  xs 'set noglob; eval `resize`'
alias vi  'xs ; /usr/bin/vi !*'

This works Ok; besides, this way you do not have to do anything extra
each time you change the size of a window.
