	Neither of these options appears to have any effect under Mac OSX.
	I run R from the command line from a terminal window (not from the GUI)
	and I have X11 installed so that in R

	does indeed put up a graphics window.  But it always puts it (the  
initial
	window) in exactly the same place, irrespective of my having put the
	specified line in ~/.Xresources before starting R, or having issued the
	specified options() command immediately after having started R (before
	issuing the x11() command).

	It's no big deal --- I'm reasonably happy with the default position  
of the
	window.  I just hate it when a computer refuses to follow  
instructions, with
	no explanation. :-(
