One answer to this question is that I have X11 already and thanks to your suggestions (yourself and others responding to the query I posted on this list) I modified bashrc found in /etc which is acting in place of .bashrc (at least this is so in OS X v. 10.3.8). You can create a .bashrc in your home directory and it will be used instead of /etc/bashrc. This is standard bash (and most other shell) behavior -- first it looks for your local rc file, and if there is none it looks for the systemwide default rc file. I would use a local .bashrc instead of modifying the one in /etc. Reason being, the one in /etc may be overwritten by future updates to MacOS X (this advice applies to any UNIX, BTW). If I go ahead with this and am successful with getting eterm to run I'll post what I found out here. I won't remove Terminal, I just won't access it on the dock, if I can get eterm going. eterm supports FreeBSD so we'll see how much BSD, OS X really is. Interesting....No? eterm has already been ported. Go to http://fink.sf.net to download and install Fink (a really nifty open source packaging system for MacOS X). Then, type 'fink install eterm', and let it rip. :) (If you want something more BSDish than fink, google 'darwinports' for a Darwin (MacOS X) version of the BSD ports system. They've probably got eterm too.) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
