Setting the terminal position

[Keith]

I have a script that I run from an exisitng terminal that changes, inter alia, the current terminal size.  But it would be nice also to reposition the terminal on the screen. 
I have found the command gnome-terminal --geometry COLSxROWS1+X+Y but this, as one might expect, opens a new terminal at the desired position. 

Is there a way to reposition the current terminal from within the script?

So you don't mean screen position, you mean terminal SIZE ?

You also haven't mentioned distro/version/architecture .. or desktop environment

Sorry once more:  This is a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 running Ubuntu 16.04 in Classic View.

Err, no:  I mean the position of the terminal window on the screen. 
I can change the size of the current (only) working terminal window (resize -s rows cols) and I want to change its position, too.  i.e. automatically, within the script, rather than manually moving the terminal window with the mouse. 
This isn't important, of course - it's just for tidiness.  And laziness.  And fun.

Ah I see .. but not that I know of

Thanks anyway, Mark.    Sorry to have troubled you.
