Type "C-h w enlarge-window" to see if the command is bound to a key. What
does C-h k C-x ^ report? C-x + balances windows (if 2 makes both same
size). C-u -n C-x ^ enlarges the current window negatively (i.e. it
reduces it by n lines). Or to reduce current window, go to another and
enlarge that one.
