Why? Quick edits? Remote session? For whatever reason you're running in a terminal, there's probably another way to do what you want with the X interface. Also, xterm is a highly under-rated terminal emulator, and is very configurable (give the man page a look). Perhaps your problem is in how you choose to set things up, rather than a real Emacs problem? Joel -- Joel J.
