Usage notes

GENERAL USAGE

• Special attention should be paid when dealing with filenames beginning with a hyphen. For example the correct way to delete a file named -i is:

  rm ./-i

  or (on some systems)

  rm -- -i

  You can redefine commands F3 - F9 to include this end-of-options sign --.
• If the screen appears distorted and redrawing (ctrl-L) does not solve the problem, run this command:

  tput reset

• It is not possible to change a running CLEX's environment variables, you must set them before starting CLEX.

X WINDOW TERMINAL EMULATORS

General tips

• If you cannot see the output of executed commands on some X terminal emulators, try disabling scrolling.
• In the past, there were several issues with some terminal emulators. Please make sure you are not using an outdated version of a terminal emulator.

XTERM

• If you want your xterm to display highlighted text in color, put these lines to your .Xresources file:

  XTerm*colorBD: blue3
  XTerm*colorBDMode: true

  Pick your own color instead of blue3 and don't forget to run:

  xrdb -merge .Xresources

  after each change.
• If you experience problems with the Alt key, add this line:

  XTerm*eightBitInput: false

  run xrdb as mentioned above.

KDE Konsole

• Konsole does not report a right mouse button double click properly. Problem noted on KDE 4.2.2, and is still not fixed on 4.5.5. Only left handers are affected by this bug.
• To display the highlighted text in color in Konsole you have to change the Foreground (Intense) color of the current scheme. The procedure differs between versions. Start with Settings from the menu.
