Huh!

I tested it before I posted...

I already have the "XTerm*titeInhibit:True" in my .Xdefaults.
So, after reading Eterm's manpage, to test Eterm I did this:
  Eterm -xrm"XTerm*titeInhibit:False"
which, of course failed.

[time passes whilst Bill re-runs his exhaustive tests.... :-]

Huh, again!

I'm wrong.  (Of course.)

I don't know how I interpreted that Eterm used xterm's
resources.  I was sure that I read that yesterday but it isn't
there today.

This still fails:
  Eterm -xrm"XTerm*titeInhibit:False"
but it also fails if I leave the '-xrm"XTerm*titeInhibit:False"'
off altogether.

I can only plead temporary insanity as my defense.  However, I
*DID* upgrade my system yesterday afternoon after my previous
"exhaustive" testing so I could always blame it on the upgrade... :-)

Sorry to get your hopes up.

I don't speak for Goodyear and they don't speak for me.  We're both happy.
