    In note 727.1 the routine DECwTermPort is mentioned as a solution
    for positioning DECterm windows. I cannot find any reference of
    this routine in the documentation so I need some help.
    
    Our customer has an application which basically is a set of programs
    outputting to terminal windows. They want to be able to set the
    position of these windows at login. From previous notes, I gather the 
    solution would be to include the DECwTermPort routine in the programs 
    and to spawn the programs from within their LOGIN.COM  
    The solution is needed quite urgently so I first need to gain some idea
    of the complexity of the task.                                             
    Also, I'm not a DECwindows programmer so explicit help will be appreciated.

|     See the notes files DW_EXAMPLES and DECTERM (ELKTRA::DW_EXAMPLES,
    HANNAH::DECW$DISK:[PUBLIC]DECTERM).  There is a program called "CHILD"
    which may fit your needs, although I don't know about releasing
    it to customers.  I have a program which creates DECTerm windows
    using DECwTermPort as well, but I haven't had a chance to upload
    it.  Send me mail if you need more information about it.

| 943.2 | It's in the release notes | HANNAH::MESSENGER | Bob Messenger | Wed Jun 14 1989 10:53 | 9 | 
| DECwTermPort is described in the VMS release notes. The description in the VMS V5.1-1 release notes gives more information and includes an example; you can also find this in note 289.1 in HANNAH::DECW$DISK:[PUBLIC]DECTERM.NOTE (KP7 to select). CHILD is for internal use only and can't be given to customers. -- Bob | |||||
