Yes I did do a man before posting.
The version of unix I am using doesn't mention a -fs switch
there is an -fn for font and a -fb for bold font.
but I am willing to try the -fs but where do I put it and whats the syntax ?

something like this maybe ?

xterm -display remotews:0.0 & -fs 12

and while we are on it......the zero zero....is that screen position to place the new term window ?? and what does the & do ?

Thanks
zapper
