cool! mind if i add that to my newbie tips? :) -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP: Would you like RXVT to have more than 80 COLUMNS or 24 ROWS? For an rxvt session, running under X, specify how many rows and columns you want: rxvt -g 132x30 & Try "man rxvt" for more info. ...from [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/
