Superthanks! it works fine..

I also saw on the man xterm that theres something i can add to my
(non-existent) ~/.Xdefaults file..
I added it though by default xterm runs colorless...
Any ways i can 'embed' the -tn xterm-color into xterm (w/o an alias i mean)
or change something that wud mean all similar applications to run in color-mode?

Thanks again!!!
