Hello:
I'm running vim and using a plugin in to call a statistical program called R from within vim. R runs from a terminal and this plugin calls for an xterm to open, with R running inside it. The plug in runs well, and I'm happy with it and with vim.

The problem is that the plugin just calls for an xterm and in antix that defaults to rxvt which opens up a small window with tiny letters. I would prefer to open a roxterm which is larger and can also cut and paste text.

Is it possible to change the default xterm?

Thanks.

Pedro

As root run: Select an option and the enter.

Erie:

Thanks for the help. It turns out that my default is roxterm. However, the plugin code is calling for xterm. I didn't realize that there was a separate xterm command and that the xterm window looks very much like the uxrvt window. So, I need to figure out how (if possible) to modify the script I'm using so that it calls for a roxterm, not xterm.

I'll post in vim and see if I can get an answer.

Pedro

pedro, the prolem is as you say that the plugin calls xterm.
If you can't find a way to change it to roxterm, to make fonts bigger in xterm add this to ~/.Xdefaults

xterm*font: -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

If you google .Xdefaults you'll find some great ideas

Anti:

Thanks for the suggestion. Certainly the larger font makes it easier to read.

Pedro

I decided to be bold and attempt to change the script. So, I changed the line from !xterm -T to !roxterm and now it still works __{{emoticon}}__ and it works like I wanted it with a roxterm window.

Pedro

Great, you don't need the -T"R" option.

Anti,
thanks. I had removed the -T since it was giving an error, but it was still loading up the roxterm. The"R" I figured just titles the terminal. Is that correct or does it do anything else?

Pedro

You are correct. It just titles the terminal.
