The function didn't work, apparently because of the way traps are 
handled within functions, so my current solution is this, in my 
~/.kshrc:

    resize_on_sigwinch='trap "" WINCH; eval $(resize); trap "eval 
\$resize_on_sigwinch" WINCH'
    eval $resize_on_sigwinch

This is for ksh on SunOS.

Gary
