RE: [LINUX5250] HOWTO keymap seperate users

["Egan, Matt B. (Artco)" <mbegan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Muchos grassy ass

Worked like a charm


So is that were I would do custom colors?

Just playin I tried this

xt5250*background: Blue
xt5250*foreground: White
xt5250*cursorColor: Red

didn't seem to have any affect on anything but the cursor did I do it wrong
or is that just the way it is (I was going for the patriotic look)


Thanks a bunch

Matt Egan

You should be able to add appropriate entries to your .Xresources file in
your home directory.  Here is a snippet of what I have:

xt5250*Font                     : 9x15
xt5250*loginShell               : off
xt5250*scrollBar                : off
xt5250*VT100.Translations: #override\n\
        <Key>KP_Enter: string("\033OM") \n\
        <Key>BackSpace: string("\177") \n\
        <Key>End: string("\033[4~") \n\
(etc.)

Put your keymap in here and then each user can customized as needed.
