In an earlier article I asked about defining a default position and
size for the psview window. Prefposition doesn't work with psview.
Mark Callow at SGI (msc at ramoth.sgi.com) responded:

This works nicely, and does most of what I wanted. Thanks, Mark.
By looking at the source code for psview, I discovered there are,
apparently, several options like this that aren't documented in the
printed or on-line man page. I'm not a C or NeWS programmer (not yet,
anyway :-)), so I'm not sure what they all do. Could someone
knowledgeable describe these options? (Or, even better, post or point
the way to an up-to-date man page for psview?) Thanks.
