I can't find the `-fs' option in Emacs 21.3.

However, you can put

  xrdb ~/.Xresources

in your ~/.xinitrc

(or the other script you use to start X, anyway the xrdb command may
run before Emacs).

and 

  emacs*geometry: 80x40+100+0

in your ~.Xresources (change 80x40+100+0 [WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF] to
what you want).

For more detailed informations see `C-h i d m emacs RET g Resources X'.

My current ~/.Xresources (just containing commented out old
configurations) follows

!!! .Xresources

! emacs*background: black
! emacs*foreground: white
! emacs*geometry: +100+0

! emacs.toolbar: 0
! emacs.menubar: 0
! emacs.scrollbar: 0
! xterm*background: black
! xterm*foreground: red
! xterm*geometry: +530+430

!!!! .Xresources ends here
