Custom position of history/command window on start up

Move it to where you want the default to be, then select Misc->History Area->Capture Prefs... or Misc->Command Buffer->Capture Prefs.... If you're only capturing the window's position and size, it doesn't matter whether you select the command line and then choose the menu item or if you select the history window and then select the menu item. If you want to capture the text format or document format, it does matter.

In the dialog, select Window Position and Size and then click the Capture Prefs button. This preference will be used when you start Igor or start a new experiment. I believe the position of the command window is stored with an experiment, so if you open an existing experiment I think the command window will be where it was the last time you saved that experiment.
