To rename your xterm, just type nameme "title name" "icon name" Cheers, Michael. -- ----------------------------/|-|--|-|--|------Michael-Smith------------------- smith@pell.anu.edu.au /_| |\ | | | Mathematics Research Section --------------------------/--|-|-\|-|_/|------Australian-National-University--
