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?

Thanx,
