Janyne,
These options can go in ~/.Xresources. I haven't played with the
color options like this, but from what I see on the web page you
mention, it should take the form:
Netscape.ncols: 256
I think that will work; but if not, try "Netscape*ncols: 256" (that
doesn't look right to me, but you never know...)
I think that if the option is something you would pass to the program
on the command line, you would use a '.' to make a "tight binding;"
and if it you want to set a "loose" binding that you could over-ride
on the command line, use a '*'. See "man X" for more.
Here are some options I use for different apps as they appear in my
~/.Xresources file:
Netscape*documentFonts.sizeIncrement: 5
Netscape*toolBar.destinations.isEnabled: false
Netscape*toolBar.myshopping.isEnabled: false
Netscape*toolBar.search.isEnabled: false
Netscape*toolBar.viewSecurity.isEnabled: false
#ifdef COLOR
*customization: -color
#endif
emacs*Background: DarkSlateGrey
emacs*Foreground: Wheat
emacs*pointerColor: Orchid
emacs*cursorColor: Orchid
emacs*bitmapIcon: on
emacs*font: fixed
emacs.geometry: 80x40+275+4
emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1
I have no experience with diskless terminals, so I could be all wet
here; I'm assuming that you have a "home" directory on the server, no?
Regards,
Gregg
