echo -en "\033[5t"
to bring window to front (above all others).
Warning..
Enabling Resizing with other objects in your form...
If you have other panels/objects in your form Eg. a row of buttons above the terminal they
must be a fixed size.
A resize command from the TerminalView operates on the top level window, if the TerminalView receives a command to increase height by 50 then the window increases height be 50..
This will not function correctly if your terminal is inside something like a variable VSplit container or if any expandable objects exist above or below.
