Under SunView |Elm needs a shelltool window not a cmdtool window, perhaps it has that |same problem under OpenWindows, that it needs a window without scroll bars |to run. Yes, thats the right way. The only problem is that OpenWin sets TERM to sun-cmd also in a shelltool. So you just have to set TERM to sun (host% setenv TERM sun). Thats it.
