This won't work to get XTerm into the Portfolio because the Copy command 
stops when it sees an end of file mark (Control-Z), of which there are a 
few in the Portfolio.  The original message described a method using 
CHKSUM.COM, HEXBIN.COM and XTERM.HEX which does work as none of the three 
files contains a Control-Z.  However, the process is tedious and should 
only be undertaken if there is no easier source.  You might want to check 
if a local Portfolio dealer has a copy of XTerm and you can copy it from 
them.
