Michael,

When you use the DEVICE=xw parameter in the command line programs, the
default window size is 900x700. The DEVICE parameter allows you to
set the window size however. As described in the "phelp" section for
device:
DEVICE = device | name | xsize ; ysize | color type

So, to set the display window to 450x350 for example:
DEVICE = xw||450;350

To configure the GUIs to use a smaller screen, you will need to edit the
sizes defined in $NAWIPS/resource. Garp comes with a configuration for
a small screen in $GARPHOME/config/Garp2.small. Use this in place
of $NAWIPS/resource/Garp2. In the nwx resources, you can
edit the size for Nwx*textwin.height to 400 which should probably fit.

I'll atatch two other files, Nsat.tiny and Ntrans2.tiny which I pulled out of
the support archives from previous questions on this matter. These were 
primarily
aimed at users of small PC windows with 1024x768 displays, but they will serve
as examples of what to configure compared to the resource files in
$NAWIPS/resource.

************************Ntrans2.tiny**********************************

! This is a copy of the Ntrans2 resource file that has been
! configured to be very small.  It uses small fonts and a 
! small basic window size. 
!
! This resource file may be useful for sites using a PC for
! the NTRANS display.  
!
! Note that you may INCREASE the size of the NTRANS windows
! to fill your screen by adjusting the "width" and "height"
! resources.  The numbers given are in pixels.  You may want
! to experiment to find the largest viewable window size.
!
! To use this file, simply put it in a directory listed in
! your $XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environment variable, and change
! the name to Ntrans2.  Be careful that you don't overwrite
! the existing file $NAWIPS/resource/Ntrans2.
