No, it's a vim question, IMO.

If you have

set lines=60 columns=100

in your .gvimrc, you get 60 lines and 100 columns. See :help gvimrc to find where yours is; it might be called _gvimrc and it might be where vim is running from or it might be in your home directory. Or, you can put it in your .vimrc (might be called _vimrc) in which case it could look like

if has('gui_running')
set lines=60 columns=100
endif
