In what specific file? Say that I want two xterms with a -14-- point type, one anchored at +0-0 and the other anchored at +0+0. Also, let's say that I want one to be initialized with '-iconic' and the other to be displayed. Where is the session startup control?

That's why it's time to move on, move up. Given my familiar set of xterms in various workspaces, switching would be much easier. gary > -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
