No. xterm has features that don't exist in any other terminal emulator - Unicode support (-u8), for example. There is no reason for every terminal emulator to support all the options that xterm supports (try xterm -h 2>&1 | less and take a look.) As for -e and -T, I know that Powershell offers x-terminal-emulator and doesn't accept -T. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dvdeug.dhis.org If you wish to strive for peace of soul then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
