"I've never had any trouble resizing character windows running BASH and Vim under Windows 2K"
Hmmm, my results are pretty much the opposite. In Win2000, I can only resize the window in the vertical direction. In Win98SE I could only resize it very slightly, if at all. This is true (for me) in general for command shell operations. Maybe I have something set wrong. (I take pretty much for granted that I do, since I trust you completely Sir Randall) All I know is RXVT gave me a resizable, very good window from the get-go.
