Check out cr: glebland:~>cr -h CR useage: CR option in_file_name out_file_name where 'option' is + to add CR and - to remove CR. and 'in_file_name' is the file name of the file to read. and 'out_file_name' is the file name of the modified file to create. the output file will have carriage returns either added or removed from the line feeds at the end of lines. Dos files have carriage return, *nix ones don't. Gleb -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First, you should probably be using startx, rather than xinit. startx is configured to do things 'right' under the Debian system.

Is there a special place in fvwmrc for >this, or should it be in xinitrc (but that was the first problem)? Hmmm I duuno about this. I used xsetbg in ~/.xsession and set a bitmap. I'm using fvwm95 and I do remember seeing a line in there for a basic color. This is what mine has as the default. It might work on plain fvwm. # # Set the default window colors. The syntax is: # DefaultColors winforecolor winbackcolor titleforecolor titlebackcolor # where: # winbackcoloris the background (border) color of all windows, # including the menu windows # winforecoloris used for the menu text # titlebackcolor is the background color used for title bars of # non selected windows # titleforecolor is the color of the title text of non selected windows # DefaultColors Black #c0c0c0 #c0c0c0 grey51 Hope I helped.you're on your own with the other questions.
