No, you're right, psterm is a disaster. So is nterm, the newer
replacement. I say nterm is a disaster cause while using it i spent
most of my time waiting for it to echo what i had typed. Two weeks of 
that sh*t and i finally gave up on NeWS, for now. Kinda sad, i 
really like NeWS, but the  only tool that works is the clock. If you
are going to have a windows system it really ought to have a 
terminal emulator to start ....
   Some good guys from another company have told me that a real psterm
will show up on comp.sources.unix soon; hope real soon, as i can not
use NeWS till it appears. The thing that gets me is this is 
NeWS1.1; i can't imagine what 1.0 was like. 
Does 1.1 == beta-release version 1?
   If this is the X-11 competition it is going to need more work!

P.S. Well, i don't know what you can do, but i am back in SunTools.
