Thanks to all those who responded to my original posting.

I received several responses by mail, most of which advised me to
use the Terminal application or obtain Scott Hess's Stuart.
Unfortunately, I had already tried with Terminal, and once I 
obtained Stuart (check's in the mail, Scott) I started getting 
the error, 

	Opening pty - permission denied

even in Terminal.  The other solutions I received did not work, either.

Does this mean something is wrong with my termcap?

Thanks in advance,

David
