I'm running a program called IRAF to work with astronomical images, and<br>
it needs to use the graphic capabilities of an xterm, not<br>
gnome-terminal. So, I'm trying to make a very simple script to start<br>
IRAF, but first I have to know if I'm on an xterm (so it enters directly<br>
to IRAF) or a gnome-terminal (in this case the script must open an xterm<br>
before).<br></blockquote></div><br>This must be too easy, but I'm going to say it anyway. Why not always start xterm and run IRAF within it?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>-jp<br><br>If you were a pirate, you know what would be the one thing that would really
