likely the original question was asking for something like

    rvu -geometry 100x600-0-0 -vf abc.vf -ab 2 .....

"man 7 X" says:

GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS
       One of the advantages of using window systems instead of 
hardwired terminals is that applications don't have to be restricted to 
a particular
       size  or  location  on  the screen.  Although the layout of 
windows on a display is controlled by the window manager that the user 
is running
       (described below), most X programs accept a command line argument 
of the form -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF (where  WIDTH,  HEIGHT,  XOFF,
       and YOFF are numbers) for specifying a preferred size and 
location for this application's main window.

whereas rvu says:

merkur $ rvu -geometry 800x600 -vf close.vf baugruppen.oct
rvu: fatal - command line error at '-geometry'
