What were you trying to do?
Figure out why a friend's emacs didn't come up in reverse
video, but other X applications did.
What's wrong:
She had
*ReverseVideo: true
in her resources.
Emacs doesn't understand this. It only understands "on".
Toolkit applications understand {true,yes,on,1} for true
and {false,no,off,0} for false.
What should have happened:
Emacs ought to understand the same things for true and
false as X Toolkit applications.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/mit/x11/src/mit/lib/Xt/Converters.c (CvtStringToBoolean)
and maybe even a manual page somewhere.
