When you create an xterm window, the environment variable TERMCAP will
be created correctly for whatever size window you have specified.  You
can always change co# and li# fields, but that's the Wrong Way:

Look at resize, which can be used to change the physical size of the
xterm window and make corresponding changes to TERMCAP all in one
swell foop.  The manual page suggests a couple of csh aliases for
commands to use to resize xterm windows.  I use things like "xrs 37
92" with no problem at all.
