"cup" changes the cursor position. I'm looking to change the window or
terminal position.
It works when I'm using rxvt with X under cygwin. I looked at the dump from
infocmp with the rxvt in X, and there isn't a capability starting with
"\E[" and ending in "t". I also couldn't find any mention of moving a
terminal or window in ECMA-48.
Basically, I'd like to be able to start a command window or rxvt and then
place it where I want it on the screen without using the mouse.
