That's my viewpoint - if Brendan adds a "false" to the system app-defaults file, it would still allow a user to override it and get the features. Making it return an empty string would be incorrect behavior - if it's not implemented, it should be parsed & ignored. -- Thomas E.

(Why anyone would want to do this is another story). Or doing tail -f on a so-called logfile (no different ;-). This is in patch #174 (would allow someone to use these features if they're inclined to read the manpage): allowWindowOps (class AllowWindowOps) Specifies whether extended windowcontrol sequences (as used in dtterm) for should be allowed. -- Thomas E.
