Robert,
To start xterm with a different geometry, use xterm -geometry +50+50x40x80
The +50+50 tells it where to start on your window manager and the x40x80
tells it what size to be.
Most options specific to a programs settings are controlled by the
individual program. You can use "xterm -h" or "xterm -" or, of course,
"man xterm" to see those options.
