scroll bar on hpterm window

[Ron Bromwell]

in HP-UX 10.20, how do I added a scroll bar to an hpterm window, for all users?

Thanks,
Ron

Hi,
the simpler solution it to create a sample script that calls
hpterm -sb -sl 5000 <...>

<...> stand for all other things you need.

Ron,

How are they raising the hpterm window? Are they using an icon on the CDE desktop, or are they using the hpterm command from the command line?

icon on a the CDE desktop.

Pete,
I don't have the mentioned file. I searched the system and could not find it.

Ron,

That's the way CDE is designed. When you want to customize something you copy the corresponding file from /var to /etc and modify it there, leaving the /var version alone.

Ron,

This may help, it's the "CDE Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide":

Create a file HPterm in either the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults directory or in /usr/dt/app-defaults/ if you are using CDE.

This is an application resource file (system wide) as per man hpterm, add the appropriate resources here :

HPterm*scrollBar: True
HPterm*saveLines: 400

nb any resources set in $HOME/.Xdefaults or set by the user via CDE's style manager etc will overide the system wide resources.
