[Gllug] rxvt setting default for -sl

[Steve Nicholson]

Is there a way I can set a larger default for savelines in rxvt?  I know I can start it with "rxvt -sl 200" etc, but was wondering if there is a way to set the default as larger with out recompiling.  I know I can set it up as a keybinding to do this each time I start rxvt, I can't find any reference to config files any where.

Also am I correct to use rxvt rather than xterm or some other terminal program?  I'm using Ion window manager and have lots of terminal windows open, my understanding is rxvt uses a lot less space so better when you have lots open. I have noticed when I ssh to other servers I get terminal error messages when I try to run things like vi, less.  I don't get this if I'm using xterm to do the ssh, so use xterm when I need to use ssh. I don't use terminal for anything fancy, just accessing the file system mainly and running vi to edit files.

Any words of wisdom would be happily excepted. 

thanks
Steve.
