- I hope this is the right group, anyway...
- I have two problems running IslandWrite on an IBM Xstation model
- 130? The Xstation boots from an IBM RS/6000 and then uses a Sun
- IPC to login to and run applications. It's running twm.
- 1. How do I set the cursor color on IslandWrite? IslandWrite
- resides on a server and is loaded over the network. If I run
- IslandWrite on my Sun Workstation, the colors are "normal" with
- a black cursor. But when I run IslandWrite on the Xstation, the
- cursor is yellow and very hard to see. I've looked at the .IslandWrite
- file and tried setting the defaults in the .Xdefaults file. No luck,
- any ideas?
- 2. Under the Help Menu, in the help index the large text box, on the
- right side, displays each letter in a mirror image. Some vertically
- symmetric letters, like A, o, O, u, and U appear normal, but the rest
- require some mental gymnastics to decipher. Got any ideas on this one?
-
- Thanks for your help...Phil.
