Re: [BLUG] BLUG Digest, Vol 22, Issue 9

I am an xterm guy. I use something like this at startup.

My nine window startup script below! Give it a try.
---------------
#! /bin/bash
cd $HOME
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +0+0 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +0+380 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +0+740 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +510+0 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +510+380 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +510+740 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +1020+0 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +1020+380 &
xterm -sl 10000 +sb -fg black -bg white -title HOME -geometry +1020+740 &
exit
