Specific to Hal. Thanks for the reference. I hadn't seen this before. Reminds me of screen. General. Never learned to like gnome-terminal. I grew up on xterm's from HPUX and SUNos. I like the quick and dirty adjust font size on the fly. Gnome-terminal seemed kludgy in this respect. With respect to the baggage due to running an xterm on a remote host, I agree and which is why I like the above example better than the one I presented initially. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
