Oops - except it would be better not to let those names suggest that "register"
is used here as an adjective. It's not about a register position; it's about a
positional register.

So perhaps:

Register, Position
Register, Text
Register, Rectangle
Register, Frames/Windows
Register, Number
Register, File

All use the singular except Frames or Windows, which is a (singular)
configuration of frames or windows.

"Configuration" alone is not too helpful.
"Frames/Windows" is only 1 char longer.
"Frames or Windows" is 4 chars longer.
