Re: [LINUX5250] TN5250 0.16.2 released!

thanks (and to martin) - but still having problems:

1) Do I have to restart X for the Xresources to take effect?
2) Which color is which?

This is what Ive done:
made xt52502, with the xterm -name "test5250"
entered in Xresources:
test5250*color1:blue
test5250*color8:blue

If I do ps x, it shows with a name of test5250 (although the title is xt5250
- test5250)

The color is green, the xterm menus are white.

I guess Ive got the colors wrong, or I need to edit Xdefaults or a typing
mistake, but having to shut down X each time is getting boring - I've been
here before.
