Question with dtterm 2

[pmcmicha]

Currently I am using dtterm via Exceed to connect to my Unix servers, but I am unable to get an option to work correctly. I would like to change the default cursor box to a cursor underline. Looking over the man pages, I found that if you specify the "-xrm" option and then define a resource string, this could be changed. Since the cursor shape is defined as a resource, I have tried the following without any luck:

dtterm -bg black -fg white -sb -ls -xrm char_cursor_bar &
dtterm -bg black -fg white -sb -ls -xrm char_cursor_line &
dtterm -bg black -fg white -sb -ls -xrm char_cursor_ul &
dtterm -bg black -fg white -sb -ls -xrm char_cursor_underline &
dtterm -bg black -fg white -sb -ls -xrm char_cursor_uline &
dtterm -bg black -fg white -sb -ls -xrm char_cursor_under &


None of these will work, I am only getting the default box when I start the new window session. Anyone care to advise where the issue is?

Thanks in advance.

dtterm -xrm "Terminal*charCursorStyle:char_cursor_bar" will do the trick. X resources are specified in the format programme*variable:value, but if you leave the programme out it applies to any programme. Annihilannic.
