- Since most of Explorer is a Xt based program, it'll obey the normal
- Xt resource convention. So, a good place to start is in the directory
-
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/sgi-color1280 ( for 19" monitors )
- sgi-color1024 ( for 16" monitors )
-
- and check out the obivious files ( Explorer, Mbuilder, Dscribe ). The
- primary resource that you're interested in ( I'm guessing ) is the
- 'Geometry' resource. If you look in any of those files, you'll see
- familiar names with that resource. The format of that resource is
-
- <application>*Geometry : <width>x<height>[+-]<xoffset>[+-]<yoffset>
-
- Put a line like that in your .Xdefaults ( filling in the appropriate
- numbers ) and you should be all set.

- I don't believe so. Maybe in the next release?
