Terminal emulation?

I use standard xterms to connect to a wide variety of *nix
systems, some running FilePro, and have never used anything but
xterms or occassionally Terminal.app.  On SCO systems, I do set
up the .profile or /usr/bin/p script to convert TERM=xterm-color
to xterm.

I posted something on this list fairly recently with a minor
tweak of the fp/termcap file as well.

There are some semi-official fixes for X11 on OS X Leopard which
have been discussed at length on Apple's x11-users mailing list.

draw from the holster, but won't harm you while you dial the police on your
cell phone, talk to the dispatcher and wait half an hour for officers to
