Another rc file? I suppose people don't want to use .Xdefaults because they want to run tn5250 without X installed? How about this proposal: 1. create a configure option --without-X11 (or similar) that builds the code as it is now (hard-coded colors). 2. enable xt5250 to use the .Xdefaults file to set up the colors. .Xdefaults would contain standard entries such as: xt5250*background : black xt5250*foreground : green Color setting would be done the same way xterm does it (by letting Xlib handle it). We don't want to write a parser or anything to read .Xdefaults. 3. I'm not sure how to handle settings beyond *foreground, *background, *pointerColor, and *cursorColor. Are there xterm definitions for the highlights? Maybe even (gasp!) blink? James Rich james@eaerich.com
