I ended up using 
(setq default-frame-alist '((width . 75) (height . 55) (menu-bar-lines .
1))  -- in my ~/.emacs as suggested by customize.  However, Keven
Rodgers suggested 

(let ((default-frame-alist `((width . 75) (height .
55) ,@default-frame-alist)))
   (find-file-other-frame "~/Documents/C/Text/C-Notes.txt"))

which I fooled around with quite a bit but I couldn't find a meaning for
@default-frame-alist.  Is this a typo or am I missing some good stuff I
should be learning (i.e. the '@'prefix on a variable).  I checked info
etc.
