In my $HOME/.Xdefaults I have:
!
! xterm
!
XTerm*VT100*translations: #override \
<KeyPress> BackSpace : string(0x08)\n\
<KeyPress> Delete : string(0x7f)\n
XTerm*Tek*background: MintCream
XTerm*jumpScroll: on
XTerm*pointerShape: arrow
XTerm*cursorColorBackground: blue
XTerm*font: *-fixed-*-*-*-20-*
XTerm*boldFont: *-fixed-*-*-*-20-*
XTerm*scrollKey: on
XTerm*foreground: black
XTerm*pointerColor: navyblue
XTerm*pointerColorBackground: White
XTerm*background: PaleTurquoise
XTerm*scrollBar: on
XTerm*borderColor: RoyalBlue
XTerm*highlight: RoyalBlue
XTerm*saveLines: 1000
XTerm*loginShell: on
XTerm*cursorColor: black
XTerm*vt100*geometry: 80x36
The PaleTurquoise is a nice compliment to the apple aqua blue
background and
the 20 point font with an 80x36 geometry fits nicely on my powerbook's
screen.
As far as X11 application parameters, I suggest:
xterm -j -ls -sb -sl 1000 -title `hostname`
This enables jump scrolling (-j), enables it as a 'login shell' (-ls),
enables the scroll bar (-sb), sets the number of lines to save to 1000
(-sl), and sets the title of the xterm to be the hostname. Note - I
like to save a lot of history :-).
All these parameters are also defined in the .Xdefaults above, so if
you want your X11 application settings can just be 'xterm'.

hi.
quick question. are there other options for xterm in osX? cause i
find
it really annoying that, for instance, the xterm does not have a scroll
bar like the macosX terminal does.
thanks!
