Thanks for responding.
I updated from CVS on Sunday, did a nmake bootstrap - I should be
pretty current.
In my registry, Emacs.Geometry = 80x48+0+0 (used to be 80x48). With
this setting and emacs -Q, default-frame-alist shows width as 80 and
height as 48, but comes up with an offset to the command prompt (DOS
box). Other registry settings that I have are to set the background,
cursorcolor, foreground and mousecolor.
I also tried setting a variable called geometry in default-frame-alist
to 80x48+0+0, saved it for this session, created a new frame (C-x 5 2)
and got the same behavior as before (offset frame). Is there a
variable called geometry that can be set in default-frame-alist?
It looks to me that the +0+0 in the Emacs.Geometry is being
ignored. Is that a bug? If not, how should I specify the geometry to
achieve the behavior that I want - i.e. have all frames start from the
left-top corner.
Thanks,
Sridhar
