adom linux question

[blob]

Hi- I have a newbie linux question. When I run adom (I have Ubuntu 10.smth) the marker (you know the rectangle) stays there blinking on top of my PC. It's terribly annoying. Is there some setting I can give to get rid of it. Also wasn't there a character roller script (I sometimes play speed runs, with little success...) floating around somewhere?

hit ctrl-f to open your browser's 'find' feature, and search for:

"But you have to tweak your terminal a bit. Navigate to 'edit' then 'profile preferences'
then resize your terminal DEFAULT settings to 80x25. (don't forget to drag-resize your
terminal to 80x25 for this session as well). Uncheck 'use system fixed font width'.
You will almost definitely have to tweak your 'colors' here eventually as well."

Change 'block' to, um, i think, 'underline' or maybe 'underscore'.

Here is it, but it is fer windows. If it fries your PC, you can't sue me:



; this script is written to be run as a 'clip' through the
; program 'notetab light' in windows operating system
; the script assumes you have already edited your adom.cfg
; file to automatically set your sex, race, class, to
; male gray elven wizard. if you wanna to use a different
; race, you will need to edit the talent selection portion
; of this code. In any case, you will want to edit the
; 'NEW PATH VARIABLES' to your appropriate directories,
; that is, unless you are already running ADOM off a ramdrive
; labelled G:\ :D

You may wanna to use semicolons to rem out the lines

if you don't want the script to read your books and stuff.
