 Hello,
 I'm running HP-UX 6.5 on a 9000/370, and I'm trying to get a console
 window in X11R2 (almost R3 according to my SE :-)  I notice that
 both xterm and tterm have a -C option to make the window recieve
 console output, but neither seems to be supported.  I'm also using
 the hp window manager.  Has anyone gotten this to work?  Has anyone
 got a work around?  It is really annoying to have my X-window
 environment scrolled up a couple of lines every time someone does a
 write or a talk to me at the console.

 Also, while I'm here.  Has anyone gotten the history mechanism for
 csh to work in X-windows?  It only seems to save the very last command.
 I think that is is being confused by multiple windows using the 
 same ~/.history file.  I've only noticed this behavior from HP's
 X-window product, the hp window manager, I haven't yet tried using
 uwm or awm.

 Please direct any responses to:  curt@sylvestr.oce.orst.edu
 Flames can go to: /dev/null :-)

 Thanks for your time,
 Curt
