Specifying a Different Default Terminal Emulator

The default terminal emulator used by actions is dtterm. You can change this to another terminal emulator. The default terminal emulator is used when the action does not explicitly specify a terminal emulator to use.

The terminal emulator used by actions must have these command-line options:

• -title window_title

• -e command

  Two resources determine the default terminal emulator used by actions:

• The localTerminal resource specifies the terminal emulator used by local applications.

  	*localTerminal:		terminal
  

  For example:

  	*localTerminal:				xterm

• The remoteTerminal resource specifies the terminal emulator used by remote applications.

  	*remoteTerminal:		host:terminal [,host:terminal…]

  For example:

  	*remoteTerminal:		sysibm1:/usr/bin/xterm,syshp2:/usr/bin/yterm
