is there anyway to move the aterm "window" or have it start up in the middle of the screen?

The "-geometry" or "-g" option allows you to specify exactly where and how large you want the aterm window to be.
The syntax is "aterm -g [width]x[height]+[x-position]+[y-position]"

80x25+20+10 is 80 characters wide, 25 lines high, 20 pixels from left, 10 pixels from top.

You can also use - instead of + to place the window relative to the right and bottom.

pretty clear but for one thing for me - where do you enter this syntax line? which file needs editing and where in the file?

If your using the "dsl-aterm.tar.gz" found in the repository,
I have the icon and menu pointing to a file called '/opt/aterm/dsl-aterm' ,
which runs the aterm with the parameters specified in the one line.

Near the end, you will see the characters 82x25+10-0 ...

These are the ones to modify for placement and size..
