|I| haven't seen it documented anywhere, but I've managed to make
`-' my DECterm windows go where I want them by putting these lines
    into SYS$LOGIN:DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT:

DECW$TERMINAL.x:        140
DECW$TERMINAL.y:        0

    They work if you put them in the DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT
    file, too, but they'll vanish if you alter that file via the
    pull-down "Customize" menu.  DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT is a much
    better bet.  (If you don't have that file, just create one.)
