| Hi
Your note was forwarded to someone very knowledgeable with dtterm.

| 653.2 | dtterm -geometry 80x36-120-140 -fn 8x13 | XAPPL::MASINICK | Brian Masinick, DTN 381-0013 | Fri May 23 1997 16:17 | 22 |
| The answer is very simple:
Dtterm, like xterm, allows for the relatively standard command line
options, geometry and font, among other options. To start a new
dtterm, running your default login procedure:
dtterm -ls -geometry 132x60 -fn 6x13 &
dtterm -ls -geometry 80x24 -fn 10x20 &
dtterm -ls -geomety 132x40 -fn fixed &
dtterm -ls -geomety 132x40 -fn lucidasanstypewriter-10 &
dtterm -ls -geometry 132x40+0+0
dtterm -ls -geometry 132x40-120-140
The option -ls means to invoke the login shell. The geometry spec
takes X and Y coordinates as the first two numbers, and/or relative
pixel spacing from the top or bottom of the screen, just like xterm and
other X applications. Fonts may be monospaced fonts (I'm not sure how
proportional fonts would behave, if at all).
I hope this helps you and other curious readers.

| 653.3 | -geo, or -geometry, but not -geomety | SMURF::MASINICK | Brian Masinick, DTN 381-0013 | Fri May 23 1997 16:43 | 4 |
| Typos: the argument -geomety *doesn't* work :-) Always run spell and
context check on my work. dtterm -geo 80x24 works fine, FWIW.

| 653.4 | resizing dtterm | NNTPD::"[email protected]" | Joe Vlcek | Tue May 27 1997 17:24 | 8 |
| I must have not worded my question very good. I do not want to create a new
dtterm every time I want a different size dtterm. I want to resize the
current dtterm. I am aware of the flags to the command when starting a
dtterm but I do not want to start a new one I want to resize the current one.
Also I would like to iconify it from the command line too.
Any ideas

| 653.5 | DECCOLM sequence | NNTPD::"[email protected]" | Brian W. Masinick | Tue May 27 1997 19:12 | 17 |
| If you know what the DECCOLM sequence is, you should be in business. If not,
I can make a reasonable guess that an escape sequence will do what you want,
much as you can do with a script to modify the window icon and title bar.
I do not know these values offhand, but I have access to the sources, so as
soon as I can find the time, I'll check, unless somebody else cares to answer
first. [I wouldn't mind knowing myself, as I already have scripts to do all
kinds of fun stuff with xterm, dxterm, and dtterm. Font sizes and geometry
changes from a script, which could be bound to function keys, would be nice].
In the meantime, one partial workaround is to uncomment the following, then
use
F10 and the arrow keys. That will allow you to keep your hands on the main
keyboard, without having to touch the mouse.

! These will enable the menu accelerators which will allow F10 to act
! as the menu pulldown and popup accelerator:
!*menu_pulldown.menuAccelerator: <Key>osfMenuBar
!*menu_popup.menuAccelerator: <Key>osfMenu
