I tried the .Xdefaults option, the /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults option and the -xrm option all to no avail: [examples of trying to use -xrm option with XView apps...] The -xrm command line option is broken in V2 XView. This has been fixed in the next release (no, I can't tell you when that will be, so please don't ask ;-). For the time being you can use the -default option which is functionally equivalent. For example, instead of: cmdtool -xrm 'Window.Color.Background: #a040c0' use: cmdtool -default 'Window.Color.Background' '#a040c0' Hope this helps, --Darren -- Darren Austin | Actually, it's a buck and a quarter Windows and Graphics Software | staff, but I'm not going to tell Sun Microsystems, Mountain View | *him* that. dmaustin@sun.com |
