   Since most of Explorer is a Xt based program, it'll obey the normal
   Xt resource convention.  So, a good place to start is in the directory

	/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/sgi-color1280  ( for 19" monitors )
                                  sgi-color1024  ( for 16" monitors )

   and check out the obivious files ( Explorer, Mbuilder, Dscribe ).  The
   primary resource that you're interested in ( I'm guessing ) is the
   'Geometry' resource.  If you look in any of those files, you'll see
   familiar names with that resource.  The format of that resource is

	<application>*Geometry : <width>x<height>[+-]<xoffset>[+-]<yoffset>

   Put a line like that in your .Xdefaults ( filling in the appropriate
   numbers ) and you should be all set.

   I don't believe so.  Maybe in the next release?
