Locally, I can use the mouse to resize a window, and the $COLUMNS and $LINES variables are automatically filled in. On many remote xterm sessions, they aren't. Does anyone have any idea where to start figuring out what is wrong, and what I can do to correct it? My quick work-around is to resize the window, then call "eval `resize`", but I would like it to be automatic.
