	(setq initial-frame-alist
	  (append (list
	    '(border-color      . "#4e3832")
	    '(foreground-color  . "grey10")
	    '(background-color  . "AliceBlue")
	    '(active-alpha      . 0.875)
	    '(inactive-alpha    . 0.75)
	    '(font . "fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter")
	    '(top . 136) '(left . 666) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
	  ) initial-frame-alist))

There is also default-frame-alist. As you can see you can append to  
some basic structure elements for this or that GNU Emacs version.  
There may be much more frame-specific entities.

Isn't vi that text editor with two modes... one that beeps and one  
that corrupts your file?
