Yes, that is what I meant -- I'd like an alternative to Terminal, not
like xterm which requires configuration via a dot-file.

Is there some kind of configuration file that I can reset, because it
now appears that it has changed from the default.

I don't think I changed anything intentionally, but that isn't how it
currently works for me. How can I configure it now to do that?

Thanks for your help.
