In the "Toolbox - Tool Options", with the rectangle

Both of these also provide a way of specifying units.
You can also drag the selected rectangle to the desired location, and
re-size the selected rectangle by dragging one of its corners.
Could not figure out what you were saying. Thank you anyway! Gimp
is a nightmare to operate!
I did eventually figure it out. Here are my notes,
-T
Gimp: create a rectangle:
1) select foreground color
2) use the rectangular selection tool
3) draw a rectangle
4) Edit --> Stroke Selection (or similar) at the bottom and stroke
your selection.
5) Note: you can size/move it right after creation
Gimp: move/size a rectangle:
1) Select -> Selection Editor (open selection tool box on the lower
left)
2) In the Selection Editor tool box, select "Rectangle Select"
3) Select the rectangle in question. Corners and centers will open
for dragging and moving
4) press enter when happy or "Esc" to cancel
