How can I set the hpterm defaults in CDE?

[Gram Ludlow]

I'm trying to figure out how to set the default behavior of the Hpterm window in CDE.

I'm running HPUX 11.00 on sever systems. On my main workstation, the hpterm windows have a scrollbar and a large line buffer. On others, it has no scrollbar and the default buffer (visible+1).

I read man hpterm, it mentions all the settings for the widget, but fails to explain where these settings can be found and modified.

Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

Hi Gram:

You will need to modify or create a resources file 'HPterm' in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.
The exact spelling is important!!

The file should have this entry:
*scrollBar: True

The file should be owned by bin:bin and have permissions 644.

Note: This will set the system wide values but individuals can override their definitions.
You may have to restart your session for the change to take effect.

...Or on a per user basis : Vi $HOME/.Xdefaults :

HPterm*saveLines : ###

.... or run "hpterm -sl ###" from the command line.

nb *saveLines : ### should affect all terminal clients who have a savelines resource eg dtterm & xterm too !
