Here's how in case you ever need to do it. 1. Open a terminal window. 2. Click Edit 3. Click Current Profile 4. Select Title and Command tab 5.

Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direct. I was thinking of an entry in a .rc or .ini file or some such. Thanks again! Dennis That would explain it. As far as I know other terminal emulators (i.e. xterm) execute profiles out of the box. I never got it working under GNOME-Terminal myself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
