Hi Jay,

If you supply 0 arguments to the resize command it is interactive. If you
supply 2 arguments, the first argument is the number of pixels to resize
horizontally and the other vertically. To shrink, provide negative
arguments.

Well, there is that, which hasn't been implemented yet. And when you resize
I think it's easier to fine tune the frame size interactively than by
repeating the command over and over (which is available to you if you want
it).
