Joe, most, lynx (which is also my file manager) in functions involving
function keys.  I could, of course, remap all of the macros, but that would
be silly since I have about five pages of keymapping in .Xdefaults to
make xterm in X emulate cons25.

But that does give me an idea for an emergency solution -- perhaps I can run
my console applications in an xterm in X since I made it emulate cons25.  Of
course there is nothing in X that will put 4000 characters (80x25) on the
screen at once as legibly as VGA fonts do - which is why I use console
applications to begin with - so that is strictly a "get out of a jam"
solution, not practical for production.
