I had problems with Uniterm and NeoDesk.  My problems related to having
TRANSWRP.PRG in my auto folder.  For some reason, if I loaded TRANSWRP.PRG,
Uniterm would bomb when exiting back to NeoDesk.  This also happened from
1st Word when exiting back to NeoDesk, if I had TRANSWRP.PRG loaded.
Included on the NeoDesk disk is a program call SHEL_FIX.PRG.  It might
fix your problems.  According to the documentation with SHEL_FIX.PRG,
some of the usual TOS functions concerning shells don't like be used
anywhere except from the real desktop.  This program intercepts calls
to these functions.  It was written by Dan Wilga, I think.  Permission 
is given to pass it around so long as it isn't modified, and the documentation
is included.  If you need a copy, let me know.
