About the tab option, which I love, is there any way to do a 'tab' key from the n810 keybaord? Or will I be forever doomed to keep the 'show toolbar' option on just to reach over and tap 'tab'?

Ctrl + i is the same as Tab.
Don't thank me; thank fanoush!

It seems that the Ctrl key subtracts 64 from the ascii code of the pressed character.

That certainly is one way of looking at it. It is listed as part of the ascii charactor set (type 'man ascii' on a linux box). Ctrl + H will be backspace.

You can find Bash for OS2007 & OS2008 at:

Have fun!

Ooooh, thank you both then for the ctrl-i.

But, now another question, why wont the view->show toolbars not stay off the next time I launch xterm? It use to remember your last setting in 2007 right? Now it always defaults to showing it and using valuable screen space
