Rich Many thanks, solves the problem nicely.


On a more expansive note is there any way to get a finer grained control as one would have in unix? To open a unix cmd window one could enter a command like: xterm -geometry 80x50-0+0 -fg white -bg blue -font . This would open a terminal window of 80x50 in the upper right corner of the screen with white text on a blue background with a specified font. Any idea if there is any method of gaining this level of control wihtout moving to a more advanced programming language? THX Paul
