Menus are sized large enough to contain the selections in them; I don't
think there's any way to make them larger without changing the text
size.

You can change the font of popups, and all menus, with the MenuStyle
option, like this:

  MenuStyle * Font -some-larger-font-

I don't think you can do this; maybe someone else has ideas?

Anyway, I normally handle this with FvwmForm, myself; I create a form
with the options, etc. then invoke rterm with the right arguments based
on what the user selected in the form.
