[Coco] window surprise

[Willard Goosey]

I've been playing around with termcap & curses, and made an
interesting and annoying discovery. (well, it's news to me!)

A window's (/wX) COL, PAG, and ROW descriptor settings are not updated
when the window is redefined!

With people telnetting into CoCos with arbitrarily sized xterms curses
needs to be able to find out what the screen size is.  I thought it
would be in the descriptor but windint's behavior suggests not.

So, does (nitr)OS-9 have a cannonical place that the terminal's screen
size is stored?  Rather that terminal be a window, a serial port, or a
Drivewire Network port.
