[plug] ls in colour & terminal size

[navarre at plug.linux.org.au]

If you are wanting to change the size of and Xterm then you need to 
change the geometry of the window the terminal resides in. 

Details are in 'man X'
look at the section on GEOMETRY. Issue the the geometry arguments with 
the program as it is started and the xterm will change size according to 
your wishes. I use this for my Xterms to get longer lines and more of 
them.
