Is it possible to change emacs's position in X from within emacs? Or
even maximize the emacs window? I would like it to go the upper left
corner. One of the frame properties maybe? Any help is appreciated.
TIA.

emacs supports the -geometry parameter.
I use -geometry 100x50+10+10 to make a 100 column 50 line window 10
down and 10 over from the left top corner.

if you mean interactively, I suggest to use the larswm window manager.

C-h f set-frame-position will give you the info you need
Interactively, you can use `M-x frame-to-top-left', with this defition:
(defun frame-to-top-left ()
"Move selected frame to top left of display"
(interactive)
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 0))
See also commands `move-frame-horizontally' and `move-frame-vertically' in
library `do-re-mi-frames.el', here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/do-re-mi-frames.el. They let you move frames
around incrementally using the arrow keys.

If I understand what you are asking correctly you want to be able to
change the position of the window using a facility of Emacs while
Emacs is running.
There is a built-in function that will do this, set-frame-position;
unfortunately it is not an interactive function. So in order to use
it you will need to write a little interactive elisp function. For
more information about set-frame-position look in the Emacs Lisp
reference manual (Frames -> Frame Parameters -> Size and Position).
Or C-h f set-frame-position RET.

Or make set-frame-position itself an interactive command:
(defadvice set-frame-position (before interactive activate)
"Add an `interactive' spec."
(interactive (list (selected-frame)
(string-to-int (read-string "X position: (default 0) "
nil nil "0"))
(string-to-int (read-string "Y position: (default 0) "
nil nil "0")))))

The in-development version of Emacs that is available publically via
anonymous CVS supports maximized frames -- it heeds the
frame-parameter `fullscreen' which can have the value `fullboth',
`fullwidth', or `fullheight', and has corresponding command-line
invocation switches.

Thanks to everyone who replied. The geometry option is what I am
using now, but do-re-mi-frames.el seems the most flexible. Certainly
ends all the frustration hitting Alt-Space to try and move the window.
Thanks again!
