can be, although I believe that `rxvt', at least, is completely idependent of `xterm', sharing no code whatsoever (not sure about apple's terminal app, but I would guess it has not much to do with `xterm' either). could you give me a tip, first: what is the GROFF_NO_SGR variable for? should I know about it? > > Can you file a bug report to the xterm people? no problem, if need be. are your reasonable sure that the problem is in their corner? what should I report, exactly? send the nroff output along? thanks, joerg
