System name:		okra
Type and version:	POWER 7.3M
Display type:		graygda

What were you trying to do?
  I was using the hide_console and show_console commands, and the hide button
  in the console window.

What's wrong: 
  Each time I show the console window, it appears in a slightly
  different location than the time before.  Using the default geometry
  specification, the window gradually creeps to the left.  Using a geometry
  specification ending in +0-0, it gradually creeps to the top.

What should have happened:
  The console window should have appeared in the same location each time.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
  The following script will demonstrate the problem:

	while 1
	  hide_console
	  show_console
	  sleep 1
	end
