Is there such a thing as "xconsole"? > You already have it... a) You have to create an '/usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles' file and put the name of your display in it. My display here is 'dsndata:0.0', so i did 'echo dsndata >> /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles' to create the file from ksh. b) Start a hpterm process from your ~/.x11start file with the '-C' option... See the man page on hpterm for more info... My ksh startup line in ~/.x11start is: hpterm -display $DISPLAY -C -iconic -title KSH -geometry 80x24+1+1 $@ & The only gotcha is that each time you start/kill a hpterm shell with the -C flag, you get a console message... you'll see... I did a quick look at the manual page for xterm and it shows the '-C' tag as well... good luck.
