VMS Help  —  CRTL  subwin  Description
    When creating the subwindow, begin_y and begin_x are relative to
    the entire terminal screen. If either numlines or numcols is 0,
    then the subwin function sets that dimension to (LINES - begin_y)
    or (COLS - begin_x), respectively.

    The window pointed to by win must be large enough to contain the
    entire area of the subwindow. Any changes made to either window
    within the coordinates of the subwindow appear on both windows.
