Anyway to get Terminal settings to stick?

[microchip13]

Like window transparency, color, and the option as meta key?

It's rather annoying, especially having to go in and change option to meta for use with emacs.

[almax00]

check terminal preferences for transparency and color --
then:

/etc/profile system-wide configuration file for the bash and sh shells

~/.profile executed every time a new shell is created, such as when you open a new Terminal window

~/.bash_logout executed when you log out from a shell

you will prolly have to create a ~/.profile. i had to when i wanted to custom my terminal prompt.

good luck.

To change the Terminal's preferences go to Terminal->Window Settings...You'll see a display titled "Terminal Inspector". At the top of the Window, notice that a drop-down list lets you select options to configure...Any changes you make within the Terminal Inspector will affect only the current Terminal window unless you click "Use Settings as Defaults," after which they will apply to all future Terminal window sessions that you open...

May have changed in Tiger, but should get you started.

Sweet, I'll give that a try, thanks.
