> How is the determination made as to the type of connected monitor; > graphics or character cell? ??? what do you mean? If you mean from an application and you want to automatically run a character-cell version or X-windows version, you can check for the DISPLAY environment variable. If you mean what type of "console" terminal, I'll defer to someone that knows :-) | |||||
