You can set this in your init file; for example, (setq minibuffer-frame-alist '((top . 1) (left . 1) (width . 80) (height . 2))) Parameters specified here supersede the values given in `default-frame-alist', for a minibuffer frame. But this option is *only* for a standalone minibuffer frame, and such a frame must have this frame parameter: (minibuffer . only). So that example is a bad one. Elisp manual says: This variable's value is an alist of parameter values used when creating an initial minibuffer-only frame--if such a frame is needed, according to the parameters for the main initial frame. What does "if such a frame is needed" mean here? When (why) would it be needed? What does "according to the parameters for the main initial frame" mean here? This description is less informative than the doc string. And like the doc string, it should mention that parameter `minibuffer' should have value `only'.
