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

NAME
rxterm -- start a secure remote xterm
SYNOPSIS
rxterm [-l username] [-k] [-r rsh_args] [-x xterm_args] [-K kx_args] [-w term_emulator] [-b rsh_program] host [port]
DESCRIPTION
The rxterm program starts an xterm window on host host. From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be able to connect
securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.
The supported options are:
-l Log in on the remote host as user username.
-k Disable keep-alives.
-r Send rsh_args as arguments to rsh.
-x Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm.
-X Send kx_args as arguments to kx.
-w Use term_emulator instead of xterm.
-b Use rsh_program instead of rsh.
-v Be verbose.
EXAMPLE
To login from host foo (where your display is) to host bar, you might do the following.
1. On foo: rxterm bar
2. You will get a new window running an xterm on host bar. In this window you will be able to start X clients.
