I'll be putting xterm 6.6B on prang.Berkeley.EDU this week.  It has several
bug fixes (like dying when resizing the alternate screen and yanking text
that fills the line) as well as making all the options consistent again
(before -sb meant turn on the scrollbar while -tb meant turn off the
titlebar, now it means always to turn on so titlebars are no the default
as in previous versions).

This should be the last in the 6.6 series.  When I find the time, I work
on version 7 of xterm, which should have some niceties, like a command
that you can run within an xterm window to reconfigure that window (e.g.,
change the font, color, size, etc).

P.S.  Prang is sick and goes up and down like a yo-yo.  Sorry for any
inconvenience this may cause, but the person in charge is doing the best
he can, considering he has a million more pressing things to do.
