Out-of-the-box xterm works reasonably well, and all in all I'm pretty happy, but I have loved EDT since I was a kid, and not having a full keypad sucks. gnome-terminal from GNOME2 or GNOME3? GNOME2, the useful one. ;) Technically it's MATE Terminal, as I jumped ship from Ubuntu to Mint when the Ubuntu guys started getting "big head" problems and messed everything up. I love the idea of MATE, GNOME3 is a disaster, and continuing GNOME2 is a great thing. Mind, on Linux I just use Openbox anyway... Do you have any specific advice for xterm resource settings etc for better compatibility? I'm less worried about fonts...I'm comfortable wrangling them, been using X since the X10R4 (no typo there) days, but I'm not too concerned with maintaining font appearance compatibility. It's more keypad stuff, and functionality needed to drive EDT in a high-efficiency way. That's going back quite a ways. ;) Yes, sadly. But in my heart and mind, I'm still 22. ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
