What you describe is already possible and architected as Create Parition. (What you call an "escape sequence" is called a Structured Field in the 3270 lexicon.) It just takes an application with knowledge of partitions. :-) They're as rare as hen's teeth. With SNA, the BIND lets you set the initial size of parition 0 (the "implicit partition"). Non-SNA has no bind and so no way to set the size to something other than 24x80. A partition's primary and secondary size is fixed for its lifetime.
