That's a function of the window manager, not the application (although
the application will need to respond to the appWinResize X event). Which
window manager are they running? 

In general, you'll need to map an X keysim to the window manager
"maximize" event. The mouse and/or keyboard focus will indicate the
correct window, and it should be a toggle in the window manager (one
event does maximize, and the same event on a maximized window should
revert to it's previous state). 

The real question will be whether x3270 is coded to respond to the
resize event. I don't think it is (and looking at the source seems to
bear that out), so you may not be able to do this. You could probably
start the x3270 session with a window geometry equal to the full screen,
and then minimize it to an icon -- would that be good enough? In that
case, see above advice wrt window manager maximize events.
