When I initialize a window in curses with something like
curses.initscr() stdscr = curses.newwin(0,0,0,0)
it always seems to have a default resolution of 120×30 characters that you can’t change the resolution beyond. How do you create a window with a resolution beyond this, or change the current window to a higher resolution? I’m trying to make a fullscreen (bordered) window, but it doesn’t seem to want to go past the standard 120×30 size. Even when the terminal itself is maximized, it simply doesn’t show or update anything beyond the edges of the original 120×30 space it started in.

curses uses the terminal’s screensize; it doesn’t set the terminal’s screensize.
