I am sorry but there seem to be some confusion about my previous message.
Let me try to clear it out.

The ibm distributed terminal emulator called "aixterm" works fine.  But the
sample "xterm" client that you can get by either installing the sample
clients or from the MIT tapes has the anoying feature of killing its
parent process on exit.

For example: if you put "xterm &" in one of the window manager menu item.
Then the window manager somehow get a kill or hangup signal when you exit
any of the xterm windows created from the menu.

It seem to me that it must be a bug somewhere on the ps2 aix because the
sample "xterm" client seems to work on all the other platforms.  So I was
wondering if anybody knew how to make the sample "xterm" client not to
send a kill signal to its parent on exit.

Thanks, Tran-Le
