Have you tried using the Pseudo and window-position programs that Greg
Couch posted to this news group in July, 1989?  Pseudo allows you to
specify arguments to auto-launched applications.  Window-position
generates a random window position.  Although the programs were done for
the 0.9 release, updating them to 1.0 only requires changing the Terminal
location option names in window-position from WinLocH/WinLocV to
WinLocX/WinLocY and adding the NXFixedPitch prefix to the examples for
the Terminal application font arguments in Pseudo(1).

I want to express my public thanks to Greg for a very useful contribution
to NeXTing.
