Please, DON'T FLAME for this question. If it's in the inappropriate place, then let me know where to find the answer to this question. Here's the problem: How does one get a frame (created by clicking on file-new frame) to assume an appropriate geometry? For example, this line is in my .Xdefaults file: Emacs.Geometry: 78x59+0+90 When I click on "New Frame", I get a new frame, but it is 80x24 and arbitrarily placed on my terminal. I want to load up several different frames (NOT different emacs sessions) which have slightly different, but specific placements on my screen. I don't know if it's a bug, or if it is a problem, but I'd like to know how to set the geometry of an emacs window from within emacs, or using some other tool for ANY window, so that I can automate the process of setting up my screen. If any one has any solutions, ideas, or places I can go, please let me know. Any flames will subsequenly be unread and discarded, so don't bother sending them. Thanks in advance for all the help, -- Gregory Deatz e-mail: deatz@cs.rutgers.edu Computer Science Department phone: (908) 932-0050 Rutgers University office: CoRE 340 Hill Center Piscataway, NJ 08855
