    xterm: This problem only exists on the SPARC running OpenWindows. It works
    fine on the MIT server on either Sun3 or SPARC. The problem is when I
    try to have scroll bars on the xterm window by typing:

The R3 xterm is buggy, as are numerous other R3 clients that use an illegal
do-not-propagate-mask value.  The OpenWindows server is correct in being
offended by the value. The MIT R4 server will similarly be offended, although
the R4 server provides a "bug compatibility" mode to allow broken clients
to continue to operate.  You might check to see if the OpenWindows server
has a similar option.
