Somebody else answered this to say you need some SysV stuff.

Yeh, use xterm with the X Window System...But for this you need one of the 
following:     Domain/X11 Version 1.1.p (only for 8-plane DN10000 graphics)
               SR10.2.p   (not shipping quite yet, but provides bundled X 
                            good for 8-, 40-, and 80-plane displays)

Yes, they can.

Right, you have to install Aegis to get the /sys/ins stuff. (yes, yes, we
know.....)  If you install bsd or SysV you get /usr/apollo/include/gpr.h 
among other things.   This is useful if you're a C hacker.
