Thanks for all answers.
PV-WAVE doesn't know (yet) about DEVICE, GET_SCREEN_SIZE=variable.
PVI are you listening? ;-)
The window hack with DEVICE, GET_WINDOW_POSITION=w that Steve Swales described
does indeed work. First I didn't find this keyword in my "old" 3.03 VMS manual.
But in the new SGI 3.10 manual it was listed.
Thanks again.
