I assumed, woops :) xterm.8: -ls This option indicates that the shell that is started in the xterm window will be a login shell (i.e., the first character of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it should read the user's .login or .profile). This of course doesn't say it does not read .cshrc. And yes, I consider csh/tcsh a superior shell to sh/bash. == Chris Layne ============================================================== == coredump@nervosa.com ================= http://www.nervosa.com/~coredump ==
