It hadn't occured to me either, but that's probably more because I don't know what I'm doing; I'm just tired of seeing so many ?'s in my email 8-} With that patch, it seems to work right with the env var set in the shell invoking xterm. I can also take out the locale: false I had in .Xresources, since that seems to be another facet of the same deal. If somebody who knows more than I do about the subject could review and commit that patch, it would be great. > xterm also has optional width-tables which may be helpful: Is this something we should look at (given the above), or is it more a workaround for the problem that patch solves? -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
