Can I assume that you're using version 0.16.2?

The size of the tn5250 window depends on what size font you're using.
If it's too small for you, just set it to a different font in your
~/.tn5250rc file.

Here's a sample ~/.tn5250rc file:

dsp01 {
    host = as400.mydomain.com
    env.DEVNAME = DSP01
    -underscores
    font_80=-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-200-75-100-*-*-*-*
    font_132=-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-200-75-100-*-*-*-*
}


Then, I type:  xt5250 dsp01

and xt5250 automatically resizes to use those fonts.   Of course, you'll
need to find fonts that work well for you...   try the 'xlsfonts' command
or 'xfontsel' to see what fonts you have on your system.   When you find
a font that you like, set it in your ~/.tn5250rc, just like I did in the
example above.

I've done some looking into this issue, and it appears that for some
reason the width of the screen according to curses doesn't update
immediately.

Here's an experimental patch you can try to see if it solves that problem
for you...
