Rafael Thanks for the tip for using shift pgup-pgdn. That helped in retrieving my banking stuff.
I still have the problem of getting X to recognize settings I want to change, such as XTerm *ScrollBar, xset settings, starting xscreensaver. It's just like ~/.Xresourses, is ignored. (read below) I'm currently comparing my slink and hamm installed packages to see if I forgot to install something in slink that would cause the problem of not recognizing the above settings. I don't use apt or dselect; I just install manually at my leisure, so if a package comes up short with a dependency problem, I just download what I need until the package installs without errors. So, maybe X installed without a dependency problem, but is still missing a obscure file or package that's not readily apparent to me. Any solutions, or directions are welcomed.
