I have configured rxvt with these options: # /ldatae/X/rxvt/rxvt-2.7.9/configure sparc-sun-solaris8 --target=sparc-sun-solaris8 --program-prefix=g --prefix=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris8 --exec-prefix=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris8 --with-shared --with-profile --with-gnu-gettext --enable-nls --with-rx --with-x --with-x-toolkit=motif --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib --with-term=rxvt --enable-xpm-background --with-xpm --with-xpm-includes=/vobs/common/include/X11 --with-xpm-library=/cas/X11/sun4/lib --enable-transparency --enable-everything --enable-languages --enable-xgetdefault --enable-xim --enable-new-selection --enable-smart-resize --enable-24bit --enable-256-color --enable-keepscrolling --enable-frills --disable-mousewheel --disable-lastlog --disable-utmp --disable-wtmp
and have an app-defaults file of: *background: light goldenrod *foreground: black *font: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-22-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-22-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font_list: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-22-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font1: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-22-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font2: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font3: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font4: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font5: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*font6: -*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt*bits: 8 !*scrollbar: Thin Rxvt*saveLines: 1000 Rxvt*backspacekey: "" Rxvt*deletekey: "" ---- 1. When I start rxvt with no arguments, I get black text on a black background... rather unhelpful. 2. When rxvt is executed with these flags: rxvt +sb -fg bisque -bg black -geometry 80x60 -title xtrn -n xtrn I am getting _green_ text on a bisque background. My backspace key and delete key generate two character sequence ^ followed by H - even though the value in the app-defaults is a single control-h. Obviously I am doing something silly here. Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do to improve things? Thanks -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ > Larry W.
