Oh boy! In my efforts to get the Terminal.app window to close when I exited the VE text editor (see my previous post about THAT topic) I created a bash shell script that just ran VE and then did "exit". I reasoned that if typing exit into shell windows manually closed the window, perhaps this would do the trick. It didn't.
When I right clicked in now dormant window and selected Windows Settings, which brings up the Terminal Inspector window, I noticed that for some reason the "When Shell Exits" - "Close This Window" radio button wasn't selected, even though it is my Terminal.app default.
So, next time I started VE by double clicking on the icon, I started Terminal Inspector again, selected the "Close This Window" radio button and then pressed the "Use Settings as Defaults" button at the bottom of Terminal Inspector.
MAJOR mistake! neye: Now, whenever I start Terminal.app, I don't get a shell window anymore, I get VE. When I quit VE, the window goes away! I have lost access to Terminal.app. Ackkkk.
Does anyone know where this is controlled from? How did I inadvertantly cause Terminal.app to execute VE every time, and how can I reset it back to just executing WHATEVER it was doing before? Thanks!
