how to set the default size of emacs' window?

[rick]

I wanna change my emacs window to full screen mode after initializing,
what is the right command or function to do this?

it will be better that make it default when i launch emacs.

				Thanks.

--fullheight, -fh               make the first frame high as the screen
--fullscreen, -fs               make first frame fullscreen
--fullwidth, -fw                make the first frame wide as the screen

emacs --help is very useful, too.

Is there a way to do this such that the window dimensions are
maintained even after the call to `custom-set-faces' in my .emacs?

Yes: make that face the default font for GNU Emacs. Then all  
dimensions will be computed on the basis of this font's properties.  
Or use a font a bit smaller than that face, so that GNU Emacs is  
always obscuring the whole screen – which also could lead to the  
effect that the echo-area/mini-buffer will lie outside the screen.

If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.

If you are using ntemacs and want to maximize
window,the following can do it.

(when (eq system-type 'windows-nt)

  (defun defun-w32-maximum-frame ()
    ;; Change the current frame size.
    (setq w32-frame-maximum nil)

    (defun w32-maximize-frame ()
      "Maximize the current frame"
      (w32-send-sys-command 61488)
      (setq w32-frame-maximum t))

    (defun w32-restore-frame ()
      "Restore the current frame"
      (w32-send-sys-command 61728)
      (setq w32-frame-maximum nil))

    (defun toggle-frame-size ()
      "Toggle frame size."
      (interactive)
      (if w32-frame-maximum
          (w32-restore-frame)
        (w32-maximize-frame)))

    (global-set-key [?\C-\S-z] 'toggle-frame-size)
    (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'w32-maximize-frame) 
    )

  )
