...LINES and COLUMNS are legacy mechanisms which may serve as a workaround if the system doesn't otherwise handle screen size changes properly. They should not be needed on modern systems where the tty driver maintains the information.
Locally, I can use the mouse to resize a window, and the $COLUMNS and $LINES variables are automatically filled in.
On many remote xterm sessions, they aren't.
Does anyone have any idea where to start figuring out what is wrong, and
what I can do to correct it?
