[9fans] Opening p9p acme to a particular geometry

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?

acme -a -W 1865x1150 -l lib/acme.dump

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.

    acme -a -W 1392x942@0,100 -l lib/acme.dump

from http://9fans.net/archive/2005/02/393.

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.
