 When resizing the windows,

 The calling application should fill in these areas with appropriate data.
+.PP
 The \fBresize_term\fR function attempts to resize all windows.
 However, due to the calling convention of pads,
 it is not possible to resize these
 without additional interaction with the application.

+When resizing windows, \fBresize_term\fR recursively adjusts subwindows,
