	Hi David! Though the response was not meant for me, it has proved to 
be very useful nonetheless,... long live the mailing lists ;-) There's 
still one thing lacking in my xinitrc file however, and I thought I 
could ask you: is there any setting that could take over the dimensions 
of the xterm window? I'm looking for something akin to the "Dimensions" 
settings in the "Window" section of Mac OS X's Terminal's "Window 
Settings" panel. I tried looking in X11.app's Preferences but couldn't 
find anything to that effect. Wait... I just found out xterm is 
documented (man 1 xterm), but it's a looooong page! You think you could 
help me here?

	Thanks!
