 OK, I'll fix this.

I haven't been able to get rxvt to work, though. If I type 'rxvt' at the

I have some info on rxvt here:

http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_GrADS_on_Microsoft_Windows#I_miss_the_white_screen_with_blue_fonts_of_Win32e_GrADS_v1.8._How_can_I_bring_it_back.3F

Here is a typical usage:

rxvt -sb -sl 2048 -bg white -fg blue -fn fixedsys -e gradsdods


or even

rxvt -sb -sl 2048 -bg white -fg blue -fn fixedsys -e tcsh


You need to let it know which program to execute on startup with the -e
option. See the Wiki link above for the tip about the Monaco font.

OK, I might be able to include these.
