    Is it possible for a program running in an xterm or hpterm (I
think hpterm is only in the HP X distribution) window to query the
window for its size? That is to say, using X library calls rather
than the 'resize' mechanism, which doesn't seem to exist in hpterm
windows and is kind of klunky anyway. The 'xwininfo' program does
basically what I want, but it appears to require human interaction to
select a window. Also, I would like the size in rows and columns of
text, not pixels.

    We are running X 10.4 on HP 9000/320 workstations.

    Thanks,
