I agree that the terminals under the current news are too slow.  But I still
want to use the great graphics, so I use the suntool windows running under news.
Unfortunately they override all the news graphics, but they can be set
aside when I need to do graphs (the psh and psview must be run from
nterm, the news server ignores them if they come from a suntool.)
 If you want to set this up yourself, get news to come up in your .login, and
  put
(shelltools) forkunix
  in a file named user.ps in your home directory.  Then put a file
  named shelltools in your bin, containing:
shelltool  -Wp    0  66 -Ws 650 834 -WP  528   0     -Wl "left" -WL "left"&
shelltool  -Wp    0  66 -Ws 650 834 -WP  528   0     -Wl "left" -WL "left"&
shelltool  -Wp  502 333 -Ws 650 567 -WP  592   0 -Wi -Wl "mid" -WL "mid"&
shelltool  -Wp  658  66 -Ws 494 834 -WP  656   0 -Wi -Wl "right" -WL "right"&
shelltool  -Wp    0   0 -Ws 527  63 -WP    0   0 -W  -Wl "strip" -WL "strip"&
mailtool   -Wp    8 189 -Ws 646 708 -WP  912   0 -Wi -i 1&
clock      -Wp    0 270 -Ws 218  39 -WP  848   0 -Wi &
  By the way, does anyone know how to add to this system to get one of the
nterms to appear when I log in?  And how can I get my pair of pet eyes
to appear too?  Regards to all -
