The vimrc is sourced by both gvim and Console Vim; however, not every
console terminal can be resized by the program running in them. In those
which can't, weird things can happen if you try; and even if your
terminal can be resized, I supposed you'll probably prefer to resize it
by methods external to Vim, such as dragging one corner of the xterm,
konsole, gnome-terminal, Terminal.app, cmd.exe or similar window.
Therefore I recommend wrapping that command as follows:
if has('gui_running')
set lines=48 columns=80
endif
in order to only apply the ":set" command when we already know that we
are starting the GUI.
Best regards,
Tony.
