I'm using uwm and would like to know why the following command doesn't work when I try to use the '#' for icon geometry: rsh gateway xterm -display "$host":0 -iconic #+30+50 -n "Elm" -e elm & I'm trying to run elm under xterm on a different host and have it come up in icon form on my screen. Xterm comes up in iconic form and appears where the cursor is when I don't have the '#+30+50' statement in. When the statement is in, elm doesn't run, and it doesn't appear in the right position. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- -- Steve Buck The MITRE Corporation, Networking Center McLean, Virginia phone: (703) 883-5574 email: sbuck@gateway.mitre.org

Thanks to all who responded to my problem concerning the icon geometry. To solve the problem I had to put 2 backslashes instead of just one. It works just fine as shown below: rsh gateway xterm -display "`hostname`":0 -iconic \\#+30+50 -n "Elm" -e elm & Thanks again, -- -- Steve Buck The MITRE Corporation, Networking Center McLean, Virginia phone: (703) 883-5574 email: sbuck@gateway.mitre.org
