Well, even though the wx terminal has some nice features that aquaterm doesn't, it seems like a lot of effort to implement this. For people running pangocairo the wx terminal is available as an X11 terminal, and that doesn't require any extra effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
