And dont forget about the control sequences documented in /usr/share/doc/xterm/ctlseqs.txt.gz. With a combination of Xt resources (translations) and control sequences, I've been able to do nifty things like bind function keys to change the font and resize the xterm and to change the cursor colour from the prompt so that when I'm root, the cursor is red, and when not, it is the same colour as the foreground text. Thanks to Xt resources, I've also got the Insert key set up to paste the primary selection, and have different classes configured with different fonts/sizes/translatios so different apps in xterms behave differently. > Yes, there's a learning curve, but it's incredibly flexible.
