From: listmail AT alfheim DOT net (Ilsundal) Subject: XTerm issues. 11 Sep 1998 04:50:22 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hello, here are a few things I've run into with XTerm, and am wondering if there are any solutions. This is what's been bothering me the most -- when I am in an XTerm, if I run any text application such as pico, edit.com, etc., the display for the program goes to whatever cygnus bash session window I invoked the Xterm from, or the cygnus bash session window I invoked my window manager from. This is very annoying, and makes the use of XTerms quite useless. Another thing I was wondering was, is there any way to tell xterm which type of shell to use? I know that's a bit confusing, but here's what I'm trying to do. I made a copy of the cygnus.bat file, and called it xterm.bat. I replaced the last line "bash" with "xterm" and set my display variables within the batch file. XTerm pops up fine, although there's nothing within it. It's basically just a blank screen. The reason I want to do this, is so I can make an "xterm" icon on my desktop, which gives me the ability to run xterms, without having to invoke a text dos window, load cygnus, and then run an xterm. That's just too much work to be doing. :) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
