In xterm it can. But, even so, don't do this. It will cause very bad behavior when interacting with, say, Gnu Screen - in an xterm that isn't running screen, it would resize the window, and in one that is running screen, it would cause redrawing problems that would render the session unusable. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
