dtterm command

Jasmin Berube — Fri, 30 Jun 2000 19:07:38 GMT

I red the man page of dtterm command and they explain the -geometry option to set terminal size and position but they don't give exemple of what they call "geometry-string" so i was wondering if someone knows how to position the window using this option.
I found how to set the size that way:
dtterm -geometry 40x40
but what about the positionning?

Try -geometry 30x30+5+80
or whatever. You can also do: -geometry +5+80
and accept the default for size.

The -geometry option is generic to X applications.
Have a look at "man X" or at

The first two numbers (##x##) are the width and height of the window (in characters/lines or pixels; I forget). The second two are the offset fom the top left corner of the screen in pixels.
