I would like to create a window that starts on the left hand
side of the screen. No matter what I place in the x_pos= parameter
I am an inch or so off of the left hand side.
$ set noon
$ set display/create/node=FUSIL
$ name := "''f$getsyi("nodename")'"
$ create/terminal=decterm -
/detach -
/Little_font -
/window_attributes = -
(x_position=-100000, - !<< I have placed everything from 5 to this
y_position=550, - ! number and it does not change.
initial_state=icon, -
title="''name'", -
icon_name="''name'")
$ exit
As you may havce noticed, this note changed a little. The
node that this command file is running is 5.4 VMS whereas on 5.3
systems it works correctly.

Re: .0 This was a bug introduced in a V5.4 field test version, but it should be fixed in the SSB version. DECterm checks its input parameters to make sure they are "reasonable", but it was incorrectly checking for the x and y positions being > 0 rather than >= 0. As a semi-workaround, try x_position = 1. -- Bob | |||||

re: .01 It worked. The only problem is that this is the CSC32 cluster which SHOW SYSTEM tells me it is 5.4. I have been trying to contact the system managers to ask if it is the distribution or not. It better be the distribution, because it is our research cluster. | |||||
