If I understand what you are asking correctly you want to be able to change the position of the window using a facility of Emacs while Emacs is running. There is a built-in function that will do this, set-frame-position; unfortunately it is not an interactive function. So in order to use it you will need to write a little interactive elisp function. For more information about set-frame-position look in the Emacs Lisp reference manual (Frames -> Frame Parameters -> Size and Position).=20 Or C-h f set-frame-position RET. -_ J_) C_)ingham .
