I would like to know how you go about setting the
size and position of a given frame using Elisp instead
of the mouse.
I am interested in using the speedbar.el but it currently
appears in a maximised state.
I don't want to use the mouse to resize and reposition
the frames so that they sit beside each other every
time I start speedbar.el
Here is the Elisp code that I have written (based on the built in
Emacs manual) but doesn't work.
(progn
(setq fc (current-frame-configuration))
(setq w (assq 'width (cadadr fc))
(setcdr w 20)
(set-frame-configuration fc))
What code do I need to write to get it to work?
Please advise me as I am stuck at the moment.

Just use functions `set-frame-position', `set-frame-height',
and `set-frame-width'. Or use function `set-frame-parameter'
or function `modify-frame-parameters'.
See the Elisp manual, node `Size and Position'.
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Size-and-Position.html#Size-and-Position
You can get to that node in Emacs, using `C-h i', choosing
the Elisp manual, and then using g `Size and Position'.
Or once in the manual, type `i set-frame TAB' to see these
and related functions, and choose one of those mentioned
to get to the information about them.

Thanks for your help. I personally prefer to use Emacs
windows rather than frames as windows are easier to manipulate.

Have a look at my full-frame command.
