CDE Customization

I startup CDE on my PC using Exceed. When I start an xterm in my workspaces they are too small and I have to increase them to size I prefer. They also don't have a scroll bar by default. How can I do the following:
1. Start Xterm windows with a specific size?
2. Make sure the windows have scroll bars?
3. Increase the buffer size for scrolling to say 5000 lines?

Thank you for all replies.

Regards,
Suren

Re: CDE Customization

Hi

There's a configuration file in

/usr/dt/config/C/Xresources

you must copy it in dir

/etc/dt/config/C/

then you can modify it.

By the way I recommend disable CDE and use exceed with putty (ssh) and tunneling X11.

You can add flags to the xterm command you use to control all sorts of things.

Do a 'man xterm' for a LOT of information and options you can use.
