Ok, I'm giving up and asking.
I want to start my acme session with a particular geometry. The -l
dump.acme option works great for laying out my columns and guide
file, but doesn't cover the startup geometry of the window, which
means my Hollerith-width columns get screwed up (don't ask, local
coding convention locked in the 90's. 1890's) and need to be re-
adjusted each time I launch acme.
Is there a way to have it open with the "correct" geometry and screen
placement?
Paul

Almost. I was insufficiently specific - I also need to control
placement of the window, in order to have it use up nearly my whole
screen. -W doesn't seem to handle the extended X11 -geoemtry string: -
geometry 1865x1150+0-0
If that's not there, I'll hack it in this evening.

It does, just not like that. Intro(1):
Many of the graphical programs from Plan 9 are present,
including sam(1) and acme(1). An X11 window manager rio(1)
mimics Plan 9's window system, with command windows imple-
mented by the external program 9term(1). Following the style
of X Windows, these programs run in new windows rather than
the one in which they are invoked. They all take a -W
option to specify the size and placement of the new window.
The argument is one of widthxheight, widthxheight@xmin,xmax,
or xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax.
So -W 1865x1150@10,10 or -W 10,10,1875,1160

Sometimes I feel illiterate.
Thanks all.
