Perhaps someone can help with two problems am I having with xterm ....

Running the version of xterm off the X11R3 tape on a pyramid 98XE (OS4.4)
works fine apart from the "su" command. If I type "su", the password prompt
is displayed, followed immediately by "Sorry" and an exit status of 2 from su -
it never gives me a chance to type the password. The same version of xterm
works fine on Ultrix and SunOS. (su works OK normally).

I also tried to run an xterm which allowed "sendEvents", so that I could
have another program which entered characters into the window. My program
to synthesize the events works fine for gnu and other X clients, but I
can't get it to work for xterm. Setting "*allowSendEvents: true" in the
database, or using -xrm doesn't seem to make any difference. Is there 
something else I should do?
