First, not well documented the resize options, just when using more than 2 
args, you get this error
usage: resize [-h] [-v] [-l] [num]
Looking at the code there is one more option -b (both) and num can be suffixed 
whith %

2-
I've also found an error :
related to 01CVS.dpatch, lenny-11.diff, line 5539 and squeeze-14.diff, line 
5857 :
ResizeRegions(*args, 0);
should be ResizeRegions(*args, i); (suggestion)
because now it just ignores the resizing mode (h/v/b/l) when giving 2 args, 
when giving just 1 it works in interactive mode.
And it's important to work in batch mode (screenrc)

3-
args[0] = up;
args[1] = 0;
SaveAction(ktab + T_BACKTAB - T_CAPS + 256, RC_FOCUS, args, 0);
What does it mean? SHIFT + TAB does not work, which is the default keybind for 
reverse cycling over regions?

4-
And related to 525998, I think this bug should also be applied to lenny, like 
this one if it's accepted.
I use lenny and spent a lot of time just because googling, found that ^a+| and 
vert_split should already work in lenny and yes, ^a+| worked but vert_split is 
split -v and only looking at the code found the solution, screen is a very 
usefull tool, vertical splitting, moving and resizing are also very usefull... 
and in lenny too!!

Thanks

Please submit a separate report for each of these issues, so they can
be tracked independently.

Lenny is the current Debian stable release. This means it will not
receive any changes except to fix critical bugs or security problems.
The problems you're reporting in the ‘screen’ package will not be
addressed in an already-released Debian version.
