Basically one line per file, describing roughly the subsystem it affects. Reason I ask is that I've been trying to locate whatever it is that tells my xterm windows to do "US-ASCII" rather than "Latin-1" or "ISO 8859-1". Pine often objects to this, and both less and more display extended characters with circumflex notation, which I find irritating. I'd ask the second question only, but it looks as if that should lead to the broader question. I try RTFM, but each configuration file has its own peculiar way of hiding. I'd consider building a database of files I encounter building a new FreeBSD (I'm overdue, running 2.2.2R), but I'm not running a very extended system and probably wouldn't encounter 1/10 of the files. Has anyone done this? TIA! Chuck Bacon -- crtb@capecod.net FWIW, BTW, IMHO, AFAIK, YMMV RSN. OTOH, RTFM. FYI. TTYL.
