727.0. "Position decterm windows?" by HOTAIR::PAINTER () Thu May 04 1989 10:40

    
My basic question is how to position (at logon) multiple decterm windows to    
multiple locations.                                                            
                                                                               
Is there any way to reposition a decterm window by typing a escape sequence, or
alternativly are there any variables available to decw$terminal.dat that would 
allow distinguishing one terminal from another so the .Geometry construct could
be used to position several decterm windows.

	It is possible to create Decterm windows from a program and position them with DECwTermPort routine.This program could then be put into your login.com.I don't know about repositioning on the fly. regards Mark

	CHILD allows you to specify window co-ordinates. Do a DIR/TIT=CHILD and away you go.

	Re: .0 There are various ways to position your windows at creation time, but there is no supported way to reposition the window after creation (that's the window manager's job). -- Bob
