"aterm geometry" not working

[slkpg]

It is being ignored in .Xdefaults on Xorg. Worked fine with Xvesa. Using jwm. Font also. Some things like transparent do work, so it is reading the file. Any ideas?

Aterm*geometry: 80x40

Hi slkpg
I just copied and pasted the command from your post to the end of my .Xdefaults and it works fine. Check the spelling
in your file. If it's the last entry, make sure there is a carriage return at the end.

Thanks, actually the problem is that there was a carriage return, along with the newline. Same goofy problem I had with onboot.lst. Need to be more careful moving files between windows and TC.

Yeah, I should have said newline.

I understood you to mean "hit the CR key", which is correct. The actual character(s) in the file of course depends on the OS. Bottom line is you were right, it was just an editing problem, however weird.

Thanks again.
