Thanks to all who responded to my earlier question- the problem was
resolved. However, I've got couple more questions... :)
Occasionally, unpredictably (near as I can figure) when I startup X,
all my xterm windows will appear, then one will flash out of
existance. Trying to bring up another xterm via menu or 'xterm &'
brings the same results. Doing several (>4) 'xterm &' right after
another results in (usually) all but one flashing out of existence...
Now, as far as I can remember, this only happens on the Sun
SparcStations. I don't recall it happening on the Sun 3/60's, so it
seems to me there is a timing problem someplace??
Where can I find a copy of "Xterm Control Sequences", mentioned in the
man page of xterm?
Finally, not xterm, but:
What is the best (read foolproof) way to set the DISPLAY environment
variable? When X starts up, it sets it to 'unix:0.0', which is
invalid when you bounce to another machine and start up an xterm; you
have to specify the display.
