[comp.sys.hp] hpterm BUG

                       *** POSSIBLE hpterm BUG ***

			hpterm -b 10 -bw 20 &

What happens is when you cover up and redraw the resultant
hpterm, it ERASES the refresh area.  Then if you try to force a
"refresh" it erases the whole screen!

Isn't "-b" the inner border and "-bw" the outer border???
I just tried it with "hpterm -b 2 -bw 20 &" and no problem!
Extremely weird!

I have verified that this defect is repeatable on HP-UX 7.0
on an S300 machine, and have filed a defect report to the 
appropriate party within the X windows group.
