Just a hunch, but I think you were bitten by the same problem I had with
running INFO.  (Someone followed up here with a statement that the
xterm startup script would have the same problem as info.)  Try running
INed after deleting your ENV environment variable, and I bet it'll
work.  I ran into this only after installing 3005.

If your ENV file diddles with passed parameters ($1 $2 etc), the script
used by info, xterm, or whatever will see the wrong values.  You (or IBM)
could fix this by putting a comment line at the top of the xterm startup
script like "#!ksh -p" or something like that.  You can also fix this
by modifying your ENV startup scripts, which is what I did, so they
don't use the "set" command.
