Steve; While I might indeed have created problems for myself, I NEVER have capitalized an xterm entry. All of the examples for Xdefaults and Xresources that I have seen through the years have never had "xTerm", "Xterm", or "XTerm". While I am quite sure that the resource and resource class keywords are case sensitive, I am not so sure about the program name.
Also, the resources such as srollBar seem to accept 'yes', 'true', 'on', and 'no', 'false', 'off' as synonymous sets. best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->Please note [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not work<-- -->nor does <anyone>@<anyhost>.wconsult.com<-- ==>and yes eventually I'll get the mailer figured out<== from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: "The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!" See! They do get some things right!
