Er, are you serious?  Are you actually using the built-in terminal
emulator (I don't know if it's in the hardware or in the kernel) for
real work?  I had thought people only use it in single-user mode, when
updating the system, or when logging in, before X starts up.  If you
would use X (X is by default bundled with HP-UX nowadays, so you must
have it), xterm is an ANSI terminal emulator.  What kind of
"windowing" does this Vermont Views provide?
