Thanks,
It was a problem to do with line endings. I sent my .Xdefaults file to my
remote UNIX account and opened it with vim. It looked OK. I opened it with vi
and it had ^M appended to each line, so I removed each one and sent the file
back to my PC where it worked without errors with Cygwin.
I ran dos2unix on the file on my UNIX account but it seemed to make no
difference. dos2unix does not seem to be in my Cygwin installation and I
couldn't find it using the download utility, setup.exe.
Also, should the -g geometry command work with Cygwin? I tried opening an
xterm& with -g and something like 600x500 and it restarted my Win98 PC.
Another thing: When I single click with left or right mouse button on an XTerm
window Cygwin freezes and has to be Ctrl+Alt+Delled. I can click and drag text
to copy it and all, but when I single click the window to remove the
highlighting Cygwin will freeze. This happens consistently.
