Ah! There it is. (I think I maybe knew that once.) I think it might be worth documenting this in the manual. Perhaps in Section 20.5 Deleting and Rearranging Windows, which might be better named "Deleting, Rearranging, and Resizing Windows". Also a search for "resize" in the manual doesn't currently find this section even though it is where the (keyboard-based) resizing commands are documented. On the other hand, this functionality is not something a user would expect to have to look up in the manual. Resizing things on screen by dragging a handle provided when placing the mouse cursor over their boundary is a very commonplace, almost universal idiom; it would be nice if Emacs could do this by default.
