Yes retarding the spaces around the equal sign. Based on my limited experiene I'm surprised it makes a difference. But that is not the real problem. For example, Darac said that the configuration for fonts is: DEFAULT=*/font/ What is the asterisk there for? Is the forward slashes around the workd "font " means to indicate it is variable? I had assumed so. In any case in my font file I have the line DEFAULT=monospace-20 This has no effect. My main file has the line bg_color=red and this has no effect either. My default mlterm window linen background, which is what I want. If I use any command line options, the background turns white. This suggests to me there is a configutatioan file somewhere that ddoes not yield to what is in the files in ~/.mltemp >
