Or at least that was the case back then, perhaps it has changed. I also remember trying rxvt and urxvt for a short period: "r" as in "reduced", "u" as in "unicode" - but despite xterm not being reduced, it wasn't/isn't slower than rxvt what I could tell, nor does it have any char limitation for my purposes. BTW urxvt seems to be in rxvt-unicode. There is also a reduced urxvt, in rxvt-unicode-lite :) BTW 2 I once read a FAQ and there was a question how to start a terminal. The answer said in a terminal, type the name of the terminal and hit RET! In essence, an "interminal" problem... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
