I have no idea what's so special about these two chars to justify a separate set for each -- but what you have defined sounds like a reasonable solution to me... > > xterm -version says that I have: XFree86 3.3.6(88c). I can't find > this one on http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html the more recent sections of this log mainly seem to be tracking the changes to xterm along the pre-4.0 development branch of XFree -- I think that's why your "3.3.6" does not appear there. You probably need to guess a good keyword to search for instead... BTW, xterm itself apparently has a somewhat unconventional versioning scheme: no real version number, but patch 150 -- (perhaps it's supposed to be tied directly to XFree, rather than having versions of its own?) (maybe we should adopt this and say: Debian - patch 20389, or so :)) > > Maybe I should install a new version. Anyway I figure it out that > I have a version with a older documentation. well, I would say, if your current xterm accepts the X-Resource settings you need (and does behave as expected), you might just as well leave things as they are. But, of course, that's up to you... Cheers, Erdmut -- Erdmut Pfeifer science+computing gmbh -- Bugs come in through open windows. Keep Windows shut! --
