Freeing up the 128 from >p-s? The problem is that xterm as written does not know about P-S. It only knows about p-s. There's no way to work around this except by modifying the xterm source to teach it about P-S. > Since, from your statement above, I assume that P-S are not available >for such things as telnet/rlogin/etc? Just the other way around - P-S can only be used for telnet/rlogin/etc; they can't be used for xterms. If you're not using xterms, then you need not worry. :-) -DG
