.Xdefaults being ignored

another xterm. Or you can extract the xterm startup line from startxwin.bat and store it as startxterm.bat. HTH Peter I'll give that a try but I am still wondering what changed. XWin.exe used to be able to determine that another instance was running and just quietly exit. Thanks. Chuck
