got it!! i'm not sure why, but for some reason i had: Mrxvt.acsChars: true in my ~/.mrxvtrc which hosed it. there's still an issue that if i double-click (select word) the selection doesn't stop at the border between normal and alternate characters. if you look at my prompt in the screenshots, you'll see where it would be useful to select the PWD from the prompt... in xterm i can double click the PWD part of my prompt and it automagically doesn't select the alternate characters. what i'd *really* like to do, is enable mrxvt to only select up to a NULL character... then i could just put null-chars anyplace where i want a selection to end (in my PS1, i would put a NULL before and after the PWD). here's a case that xterm, IMHO, still deals with more gracefully than mrxvt: print '\033(0qqq\033(1foobar\033(0qqq\e(B' # on your system /bin/echo might work better than my print that outputs, after conversion from alternate->normal characters: ---foobar--- in mrxvt if you select the word "foobar" it selects the lines adjacent to it, too. in xterm, if you select the word "foobar" it ONLY selects the word "foobar". -- ...atom ________________________ http://atom.smasher.org/ 762A 3B98 A3C3 96C9 C6B7 582A B88D 52E4 D9F5 7808 ------------------------------------------------- "I never gave them hell, I just tell the truth and they think it's hell." -- President Harry Truman, 1956 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
