In Emacs-Lisp (and in C, I think), -0 equals 0, so the frame-management code cannot distinguish -0 from 0. I suspect the closest you could come to the desired functionality is to have Emacs interpret an offset of -1 to mean "flush against the right (or bottom) edge of the display". -- Francis Litterio franl world . std . com
