VP/ix runs on a number of ASCII terminals which feature neither scancode ability, nor full PC graphics (e.g. DEC vt100). Since xterm is only a vt100 in disguise, you should be able to run VP/ix in an xterm window by saying it is a vt100 (or if you prefer, create the necessary VP/ix config files to drive the xterm). The advantages of xpcterm are a true PC font (both in terms of graphics characters and font styling). I don't know about scancode emulation - it's certainly reasonable to do, but I never looked. The function keys are emulated by ESC-1 ... on ASCII terminals. Tim -- Tim Wright, Dell Computer Corp. (UK) | Email address Dell Computer Corp.
