        Double take. What I use as my standard terminal is gnome-
terminal. What you suggested, and I put into gnome-preferences *as* 
*mail* *reader* is xterm. 

        Unless they interact -- which would startle if not stagger me -- 
I can tweak away all I want at xterm, and have no effect at all on gnome-
terminal.

        Stay tuned.
