Hello !

I have a litle question.

If I open a Xterm in Xwindows, like this 

    xterm -bg green -fg red -sb

is it then possible to change the colors and
remove the scrollbar once the xterm (shell)
is on the screen.

I do not want to use the options in the menus.

Thanks in advance.   

                   Pilgrim.

In sunview, you can change the title of an existing window via an escape sequence.
Is there anyways to do this with an xterm?  Please respond via E-mail.

I have added this line into my .cshrc to change the title of a
xterm session (you can use the escape sequence any other way):

alias   xname      echo -n "^[]l\!*^["

Yes, there is a way and it has been posted. I have a copy of a C program which
does this just as well, and you can have it put the name of the current directory
into the title, or the icon name, or both.  If anyone wants a copy of this and the
alias that goes along with it, send me mail.
