2023.0. "DECW Terminal position problem" by VAXPHW::PHIL (At 'MAC'simum efficiency!) Wed Jan 10 1990 10:27

    Hi,
    
    I just installed V2 Decwindows, VMS V5.3. After much modifying my 
    DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT file, I got the new version to start just like my
    old.
    
    The only problem I now have is the DECW Terminals.  I used to start
    them up on top of each other, instead of cascaded.  I put the following
    in my DECW$XDEFAULTS as well as my DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULTS.DAT to no
    avail:
    
    DECW$TERMINAL.x:                2
    DECW$TERMINAL.y:                91
    DECW$TERMINAL.*x:               2
    DECW$TERMINAL.*y:               91
    
    This worked under V1.  Anyone know a way to do this?

    re:.0
    
    Try the CREATE/TERMINAL command.  At the DCL prompt try HELP
    CREATE/TERMINAL for more details.  Basicly you want a conmmand line
    this:  $CREATE/TERMIAL/WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES=(X_POSITION=2,Y_POSITION=91)

2023.2Where does it go for autostartup?VAXPHW::PHILAt 'MAC'simum efficiency!Wed Jan 10 1990 14:015
    Where would this go?  If it goes in decw$login, whon't it execute
    every time a job starts up?

2023.3In the DCL command area of your applicationAGBEAR::HORNERA.G.Bear, Old fashion teddy bearWed Jan 10 1990 17:417
    It would go in the DCL command area of the application definition that
    you created for your special DECterm.  You would then add your new
    "Create DECterm" application to the autostart menu, and probably to
    the application menu too.  The autostart menu list is only executed
    once when you log into the VAXstation.
