Xterm comes up in iconic form and appears where the cursor is when I don't have the '#+30+50' statement in. When the statement is in, elm doesn't run, and it doesn't appear in the right position. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- -- Steve Buck The MITRE Corporation, Networking Center McLean, Virginia phone: (703) 883-5574 email: sbuck@gateway.mitre.org
