Chris, Thanks, you were right about the Xaw3d package. Once I installed it several of the slink applications regained the same scroll bar look as on my hamm disk. Xterm, however, remained the same. Still just a plain bar with no arrows. Is xterm in slink different than xterm in hamm? Or did I just stumble into a non-standard configuration when I first loaded linux back in October? And all this time I thought I was using the standard scroll bars. ;-) John Carline > From: "Leyon, Christopher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: scroll bar resource? > To: 'John' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > It's hard to tell without actually seeing what's on your screen, > but my guess is that your hamm has the Xaw3d library installed > while your slink doesn't.
