[Nick: oops! I forgot to do Reply All, so you’ll see this twice.]

I’m not quite sure why you started a new thread for this.

In any case, If you use X Quartz and select the Full Screen option in the 
Output tab in the settings, then you will achieve this. You may need to quit X 
Quartz and restart it, e.g., by running “xterm” or “xterm -fullscreen” and then 
maybe select the xterm from X Quartz’s Window menu.

Make a careful note of the key sequence you need to get out (it’s 
Command-Option-A).

You may be able to achieve the same effect with other window managers by 
tweaking configuration files. I haven’t looked into that.

Regards,

Rob.
