WIth the cursor in the xterm window, hold dwon and push one of the mouse buttons. Each one brings up a different menu that effects the operation of the xterm session. Try the "tiny" font. It makes the xterm window look like an icon, but it is still a real window and reflects output dynamically. Bob Haar InterNet : rhaar@gmr.com Computer Science Dept., G.M.
