2923.0. "Session Manager width and height?" by CRACKR::SYSTEM () Wed Jun 13 1990 12:10

    How do I save the session manager width and height?
    
    I reduced the width and selected the customize save option.  After
    quiting and restarting the session the normal session manager window
    width was started.
               
    I edited DECW$SM_GENERAL.DAT but only found "sm.x:" and "sm.y:."

2923.2	term problem	CRACKR::SYSTEM	Philip Ritz	`Thu Jun 14 1990 11:35`	5
	Ok...Wrong term \|Sorry\| What I should have said was the Icon window. The "sm.message_size_height" and "sm.message_size_width" are saved by "Customize" "Save Current Settings."

	>>> What I should have said was the Icon window. Make your icon box the size you want and position it where you want it to appear, then place the mouse inside the icon box and hold down MB2. Select the save option. It will write your icon box set-up data to the file SYS$LOGIN:DECW$WINMGR.DAT Here's my DECW$WINMGR.DAT file: geometry: 1020x44+2+21 sticky.state: 0 zooming: 0 expandiconfocus: 1 I've never understood the format of the "geometry" data. I guess the 1020x44 is the width-by-height, but what is the +2+21 ?
2923.4	x = +2, y = +21	AIMHI::TINIUS	I didnt lose it, I just cant find it	`Thu Jun 14 1990 15:31`	5
	> I guess the 1020x44 is the width-by-height, but what is the +2+21 ? +2+21 are the x and y coordinates of the upper left corner of the box. Stephen
