    Subject: resize program
    
    I am looking for a program that would allow me to set the curses
    environment variables LINES and COLUMNS to the current window's
    dimensions, but i don't want to have to write something that
    already exists.


It does already exist.  See the "resize" program in the xterm source
directory of the MIT R4 distribution.  Running resize in your xterm
outputs something like

COLUMNS=117;
LINES=15;
export COLUMNS LINES;
