According to the docs, launching under X with the --geometry argument (along with suitable parameters) will size and position the initial frame on the screen. Can the same thing be accomplished by adding code to the .emacs? Is there a file similar to .Xdefaults in the w32 environment? If not, is it possible to modify the default behavior (80 column by 40 line frame positioned in the upper left corner) by editing an elisp file somewhere? Thanks, Ed
