Agreed! Elm under Xenix has been a sore spot for a long time. I have full 
intentions of having Xenix, both 286 and 386, support incorperated into Elm
in the next release. Chip Salzenberg did a set of patches to 1.7 that were
posted to the net. He's volunteered to do the 2.0 version which I'll 
build into the release. In addition, several of you have volunteered to
send in your local 286 and Xenix hacks. I'll wade through the whole mess
(with the help of a few of the test sites) and come up with an Elm that
is portable to these environments (alas, short a few features to make it
fit, but....).
