Thanks.  I can figure out what dimensions to use.  Right now the
program will remember the window size, so I should be able to read
that from the init dialog.

I downloaded Win32Forth today just to see how difficult it might be to
implement.  Here's the word I came up with.

: moveputty 0 z" PuTTY" FindWindow dup 0= if drop else >R 1 200 800 15 10 R> MoveWindow then ;

I'm afraid that it should really read the existing Windows dimensions
and simply move it rather than forcing it to 800x200, but I hope this
gets you into the ballpark should you need to revisit this issue.

Jim,

Thanks.  I am currently using ExtraPuTTY which allows the location of
the window to be set.  However, it opens an extra side window along
with PuTTY, which then needs to be closed for my purposes.  But I can
live with that.  I am going to focus on the other aspects of my
program.  But when I get back to this, I may try your suggestions.

Hi, Rick.  You might code up a Win32Forth word to call the MoveWindow
API function to move PuTTY.

I'm afraid my C is better than my Forth, so  that's what my sample is
written in.  See below:

// moveputty.c
#include <windows.h>

#pragma comment(lib,"user32.lib")

int main(int argc,char **argv) {
   HANDLE hwnd;
   hwnd=FindWindow("PuTTY",NULL);
   if(hwnd==NULL) {
      printf("Unable to find PuTTY");
      return 1;
   }
      // x,y,width, height, repaint-flag
   MoveWindow(hwnd,10,15,800,200,TRUE);         
   return 0;
}
// end 

The first thing to do is find the handle of the PuTTY window by
calling FindWindow with a windows-classname of "PuTTY".  If a handle
is returned, move it ( which also resizes it ... so you may need to
tinker with the width, height values. )

The EXE and source for the above can be found here:

I can't judge the value of it for you, but I often reach for the uCon
Embedded Console.  It provides a TFTP client/server, a DHCP server,
and more, plus serial command scripting, and a terminal server that
allows you to access the PC's serial port remotely via telnet.  It's
free and it runs on Windows, though I think the author is maybe
working on a Wine version or something to go beyond Windows.  It's
been continuously updated over the years, as well.  The last one I
found was from September 2008.

http://microcross.com/ucon_install.zip

Also, see this page -- partway down -- for the same link:
http://microcross.com/html/micromonitor.html

Also, it starts up really fast.  I use it regularly on old beater
machines -- I'm talking about 80486 machines operating Win98SE at
33MHz, for example.  None of that .NET crap to slow things down.

I also use PuTTY, though, for some things.  I like them both.

I am using a terminal emulator program (PuTTY) with a Forth program in
a development cycle.  Because of problems reloading the program being
debugged, Each cycle around the code-test loop, I close Win32Forth and
use a Windows batch file to start Forth, load the Forth program,
invoke the Forth application and to start PuTTY in a new window using
the Windows START command.  Win32Forth starts up in the same window
size and location it was last closed.  But PuTTY starts in a window
that moves each time it is opened.  Is there a way to open the PuTTY
window at a fixed location?  The default terminal parameters set the
window size ok, I just need to control the location.

I am open to using a different terminal emulator if that would help.
PuTTY is the best one I have found, but I am not wedded to it.
Windows telnet and Hyperterm and Realterm are the other ones I have
looked at.  I just need it to be able to start up automatically in the
state I am using, 85 columns, 29 rows, a easily readable font and to
start a telnet connection to localhost, port 23.  PuTTY seems to do
all of this except for the window position.
