Hello, I'm running HP-UX 6.5 on a 9000/370, and I'm trying to get a console window in X11R2 (almost R3 according to my SE :-) I notice that both xterm and tterm have a -C option to make the window recieve console output, but neither seems to be supported. I'm also using the hp window manager. Has anyone gotten this to work? Has anyone got a work around? It is really annoying to have my X-window environment scrolled up a couple of lines every time someone does a write or a talk to me at the console. Also, while I'm here. Has anyone gotten the history mechanism for csh to work in X-windows? It only seems to save the very last command. I think that is is being confused by multiple windows using the same ~/.history file. I've only noticed this behavior from HP's X-window product, the hp window manager, I haven't yet tried using uwm or awm. Please direct any responses to: curt@sylvestr.oce.orst.edu Flames can go to: /dev/null :-) Thanks for your time, Curt

I'm also using Create a file called "/usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles" with lines of the following form # comments, if any 0 The 0 refers to the seat number. If you have multiple seats, I'm told that "*" works, but it's usually a good idea to let only seat 0 grab the console. > Also, while I'm here.

E.g. if ($?prompt) then # for interactive shells only # ... set history = 100 # or whatever set savehist = 100 #... endif Be aware that csh does not continually update the .history file: it is written only when csh exits. Which means that if you want to save history from session to session, only the history of the last shell to exit is remembered. If you simply want history for your current session, then don't set savehist. ---- Shankar.
