But I does enable a little trick I like on my small-screened laptop: By positioning windows carefully, I can switch to the application of my choice with an easy flick of my mouse. My browser hugs the top of the screen, my jpilot window hugs the left side, and two terminals share the bottom edge.

Perhaps I should have said "titles", but the statement is still true with "names". For one, this lets me alias xtermh='xterm -name XTermHuge' to get an xterm with a font visible from a distance. -- i think xterm looks for XTerm* resources if no XTermHuge*...Mark P Sullivan http://attila.stevens-tech.edu/~msulliva/# # # # # #To a wonderful universe [EMAIL PROTECTED]# # # # # # #to improve myself and my universe ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
