hi,
  a few questions:

    1.	How many X-terminals are there on the market?  We have a Visual 640
	for evaluation, and have seen the MIPS mumble1210mumble and read about
	the NCD... whatsit.  All of the previous are mono, are there any color 
	models?  Price and manufacturer info would be appreciated.
    
    2.	I am new to X, so this Q may be dumb ..
	Is it poss to create a screen on a Window "not" under your control?
	ie - one you're not using.  If so, is there a way of "controlling"
	such activity? ie, similar to mesg on/off in unix.

Thankyou for any info,
