|I am running Xremote 2.4-XA on a monochrome 19r under DECwindows on VMS. When 
|I type SET TERM/PAGE=large_number (like 60), Xemote makes a window with that 
|many rows but places the top of the menu bar at the top of the screen with the 
|tilte bar completely off the top of the screen. Then I cannot move the window 
|or iconify it. So it looks like this:
|

|             --------------------------
|             |        title           |
|      -----------------------------------------------   <-- top of screen
|      |      | File Edit Commands...  |             |
|      |      | -----------------------|             |
|      |      |                        |             |
|      |      |                        |             |
|      |      |                        |             |
|      |      |                        |             |
|      |      |                        |             |
|      |      |                        |             |
|      |      |                        |             |
|      |      |                        |             |

You can always move the window down using the window manager accelerator key
Alt-F7.  If you touch alt-f7 while focused in the window, the move box will
appear and mouse movements will move the window regardless of whether the
title bar is accessible.  Similarly, alt-f8 will invoke sizing.  NCDwm's
other accelerators are visible in its box if you click on it.

Some clients have a "keepOnScreen" resource to keep this problem from
happening.  I assume you are talking about a DECterm.  I think that the
DECterm does not support such a resource, so, I think the accelerators
I mention will solve this problem more readily.
