The X11R4 xterm seems to require ";"s in the following typical aliases, where the X11R3 xterms did not. The X11R3 xterms, do however, seem to understand the now-required sequences: HOSTNICK=machinename HOMETOKEN=~ alias cwd 'echo $cwd | sed s+\^${HOME}+${HOMETOKEN}+g' alias . 'header [-${HOSTNICK}- `cwd` ] ; iheader $cwd:t' alias header 'echo -n "$esc]2;\!*$bel"' alias iheader 'echo -n "$esc]1;\!*$bel"' alias icon 'echo -n "$esc]I;\!*$bel"' # not verified alias c 'cd \!* ; .' # Don't alias this to "cd"---bad. -- ------------------------------------/\---------------------------------------- Seo: Harp[@Mcc.Com] / \/\ ^*^ Christopher North-Keys Tha mi gu trang a'cluich. / \ \ Systems Administrator, MCC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "bug" was nice in that it worked under both SunView and X, making for a simple way to use the same (trivial) program or alias for both. Oh well. jim frost saber software jimf@saber.com
