As I told you already: _text_ mode can't be resized in DOSEMU, it is bound
to the font and the text resolution (default 80x25).

So, of course, you aren't able to see the effect of $_X_winsize

It _has_ effect, but only if your DOS application enters a graphic mode
(told you this already and posted it here). In order to avoid further
confusion on this issue, I give a detailed example:
- you boot DOS within DOSEMU and get the C:> prompt.
As this is textmode, the winsize is fixed and can't be resized
or influenced via $_X_winsize.
- you launch a DOS application, which then enters a DOSEMU supported
graphics mode. Exactly at this point the window size will enlarge
or reduce depending on $_X_winsize and you may tailor the size
by dragging the edge with the mouse.
- you terminate the above (graphics) DOS application (or the
application returns to textmode prior to this) and the window size
will resume to the fix-sized one.
For more on graphics under xdos look at ./doc/README.txt, chapter
"10.5. The new VGAEmu/X code (July 11, 1997)"
