- Well, I finally got my man pages working today :-), and reading the
- ones that come with the Linux port of X, and a general one on my local
- host, it seems that you can pass xterm the arguments
- -xrm "XTerm*appcursorDefault: true"
- or, alternatively, include this string as one line of a .XResources in
- your home directory, assuming that your .xinitrc automatically does a
- xrdb -merge on that file if it exists (the standard distribution
- does).
-
- So now all my XTerm's come up with "Enable Application Cursor Keys",
- but I still find that minicom disables this option!! I can manually
- reenable this, but I'd like to avoid this. Is there anyway to change
- this behaviour?
