	Hey Eugene, thanks for the tip! Needless to say, it worked like a 
charm. Now, I find my Terminal.app experience to be the best and 
therefore I wish to mimic it whenever the use of xterm is inevitable, 
and the only things left, I think, are the background and font colors. 
In Terminal.app I have both of these set to black and green, 
respectively, like in the old days... ;-) Is there any way I can preset 
them in the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc config file? I think I might want to 
use different colors for clarity's sake, but knowing how to set them in 
the first place is a major plus. Now, I know I spoke about the xterm 
man page and that you pointed me to the X one, but pleeeaassseee.... 
they're long! Can I be indulged here with a new tip, pretty please??

	Hehe, thanks for your help so far! Regards,...
