I use rxvt as my X terminal window, since it is quite small memory-wise and pretty fast. I just told it to identify itself as xterm-color like this: rxvt.font: TFONT rxvt.boldFont: TFONTB #if defined(COLOR) rxvt.foreground: FGCOLOR rxvt.background: BGCOLOR rxvt.termName: xterm-color #endif /* COLOR */ rxvt.scrollBar: true rxvt.saveLines: 500 rxvt.geometry: 80x30 rxvt.modifier: meta alt all in my .Xdefaults file. This assumes that you compile rxvt with the proper option to use the xrdb database rather than reading the .Xdefaults file directly, which is just idiotic. My .Xdefaults #define's the TFONT, TFONTB, FGCOLOR and BGCOLOR values elsewhere to my preferences. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
