Oops, I have fixed the problem. The original question was: how does the ".Xdefaults" file works. I have not mentioned in the message that the server was a VMS station linked via DECNET and TCP/IP. The problem is that the proper PATH to the file is on the SERVER side. Now, since there is no xedit on VMS I had the "brilliant" idea of using the ULTRIX .Xdefaults to setup the xedit options. I should have used the VMS configuration file instead. In my case the file to setup was the DECW$SM_BW.DAT. Adding the line xedit.EnableBackups: on and doing a "Use last saved settings" the problem disappeared.-- | Roberto Divia` | Love at first sight is one of the greatest | | ============= | labor-saving devices the world has ever seen | | CERN : European Laboratory for Particle Physics, 1211 Geneva 23 | | Switzerland (CH) |
