Well, decent tektronix emulation support, for one thing.  There are quite
a few programs that use tek codes for line drawing.  Its a real drag to
have to remember that undocumented unsupported option for aixterm's tek
support.  Much nicer to pick it off the menu and run :-)

I use aixterm for most stuff anyway.  this shouldn't be a big deal.

Disclaimer: I've been wrong before :-)
