[Tutor] How to use "curses.resizeterm(nlines, ncols)"

[boB Stepp]

I am trying to understand the functionality that the Python module,
curses, provides.  But I am stuck on how to use the command,
curses.resizeterm(nlines, ncols).  At
https://docs.python.org/3/library/curses.html#curses.resizeterm it says:

<quote>
curses.resizeterm(nlines, ncols)¶

Resize the standard and current windows to the specified dimensions,
and adjusts other bookkeeping data used by the curses library that
record the window dimensions (in particular the SIGWINCH handler).

After much experimentation -- to no good effect -- I have concluded
that "resizeterm" does *not* mean resize the terminal window that the
curses program is running within.  Can someone give me a working
example of how to use this command?

TIA!
