It's the only solution. Window size is always an "immediate"
command, either func SW plus a one-letter parameter (e.g., f for
full screen), or WINDOW window#,left_offset,top_offset,width,length.
In Xy4, a generic full-screen restore using the WINDOW command has
to take DOS screen width and screen length into account, and adjust
for the presence or absence of the ruler (see sample code below).
Func SWf automatically adjusts for DOS screen size and is easily
added to the .KBD file, so I'd opt for that.

By the way, Jumbo U2 command WT provides a convenient 3-way
Window Toggle: Horizontal split - Vertical split - Full screen.
(DOS only.)
