I am currently switching from SunView to X and am trying to set up my environment like I had it under SunView. With SunView I could use escape sequences to size and position windows. I bound these escape sequences to some of the function keys so that they were easy to use. Under X, I am using xterm windows and the olwm window manager that was part of the user contributed software. So far, I have been unable to find similar escape sequences to do what I want. Does anyone know if they exist? If not, has anyone out there written a program that could tell an xterm window to move to a particular location or to change to a particular size? Is this even possible? I know that these are functions of any window manager but I would like to have a non-mouse interface for performing these functions. Thanks in advance for your help, Dana L.
