Try this:

     newcli con:x/y/w/h/name

Where
  x = number of pixels from left edge of screen to left edge of window
  y = number of pixels from top edge of screen to top edge of window
  w = width of window, in pixels
  h = height of window, in pixels
  name = a text string to use as a label in the title-bar of the window

This same method also works for the newcon: handler, and is supported by ASH.
For example, I use

     ashell newcon:0/75/550/125/Chelloveck

to open new CLI windows.
