- The following line can be specified (multiple times) in a .layersrc file
- situated in the user's home directory to direct automatic startup of
- shells and windows when layers mode is started:
-
- layer [ [flag [arg]] [flag [arg]] ... [flag [arg]] ]
-
- Creates a new window layer with default preferences; attributes
- can be overriden with zero or more of the following flags:
-
- eg:
-
- layer -geometry 56x9+2+130 -t Purple

- width 56 characters and height 9 characters, positioned with its
- top-left corner at (2,130) on the Macintosh host screen. The layer
- will not be logged in, but it will be titled "Purple".
