All on one logical line, yes. As you can see above, more than one physical line is used. But yes, basically, that's what's I am saying. If you have *VT100.Translations: #override foo and *VT100.Translations: #override bar Only "bar" will be used, even if it defines translations that don't collide with those in "foo" at all. It doesn't matter if foo and bar are in the same file or not. -- G.
