It doesn't say that xterm exits after doing either of those operations, but what is really unintuitive is that the behavior changes whether -h / -v is the first argument or not. Conventional utilities don't have such a problem. For instance, I can run "rm --version" even though rm is aliased to "rm -i" here. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
