Well, you could put them in your .cshrc, but check for OS before setting them. In my .cshrc here at work I have lines like: if ($OSTYPE == 'linux') then #Linux specific stuff else #Solaris stuff endif Of course, if you put stuff in your you .cshrc, its gets called for every new xterm you start which isn't necessary in this case, but I don't think that it should cause you any problems. The more correct. The more correct place to put xset stuff is probably your .xinitrc file (that where I have mine), but depending on how your systems are setup you may not have or want a .xinitrc file. -- Jim Crumley | crumley at fields.space.umn.edu | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |
