Newbie questions

[Zhian Li]

Hello, I'm somewhat new to GRASS.  Two questions which everyone but me
probably knows the answer for.  

1) Is there a way to size the GRASS monitor automatically (through scripting
or by modifying the fifo device file) at the beginning of a GRASS session.

2) When one has scripted several GRASS display commands, is there an easy way
to "lock" the screen display until all the commands are complete, so the user
can just look at the end result rather than all the intermediate display
operations.

Thanks very much for your help.
