Maximize window in MacVim on startup

How can I set MacVim to start up with a window that extends the full height (minus menu bar) and width of my monitor (not fullview)?

If this impossible on startup, how can I change it manually (not by dragging the window, but with a command)?

You can set the lines and columns options. Just use “very large” values and Vim will truncate them to the largest possible values for your screen and font sizes. If you put this in your ~/.gvimrc, then your initial window will automatically be sized accordingly.

set lines=999 columns=9999

See :help 'lines' and :help 'columns' for the details.

MacVim also has the fullscreen and fuoptions options (along with the “Prefer native full-screen support” checkbox in the Advanced section of the MacVim > Preferences… dialog) that you might find useful.
