Thanks to those that made suggestions. Unfortunately, most did not work,
but one came close. For whatever reason, the font seemed to play a role
and it didn’t have to do with size. The example provided by Pascal:
(progn (set-frame-font "Monaco-16")
(set-frame-width (selected-frame) 80)
(set-frame-height (selected-frame) 48)
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 64 32 ))
almost worked, but I stumbled onto the realization that the font and the
frame size have to play nice in some mysterious way. There’s room for
more experimentation, but I found I couldn’t use frame width 80 (79 was
max) and not all fonts would work, but I found a mono-spaced font that
would work. I dropped this into the .emacs file on the remote machine
and that did well enough:
(progn (set-frame-font "-DAMA-Ubuntu
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")
(set-frame-width (selected-frame) 79)
(set-frame-height (selected-frame) 48)
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 10 10))
Thanks again...
This font specification doesn't specify a font size. If you added a font
size (a little smaller than the current one), you should widden the frame.
When you change the frame-font, it adjusts the frame size (keeping it at
the same width and height in characters). You may use my full-frame
command to adjust the frame size again with the new font&size. In any
case, have a look at the code of full-frame to see how I find the screen
sizes and compute the new frame size and position. You may use that to
write your own frame sizing command.
