Two months ago I thought I saw xterm in the root menu of Openwindows on a Sparctation SLC. Now I have Openwindows 2.0 on a Sparcstation IPC, and I can't find xterm anywhere except in /usr/share/lib/terminfo/x. The release notes say that the root menu no longer contains psterm or xterm. I have to assume that I previously saw an old version of OpenW. I need the functionality of xterm, particularly the ability to have the graphics window appear on command from a running application, and have the application control whether its output goes to the text window or graphics window. What do I do? I am pretty much a novice at maintaining a workstation/operating system/OS enhancements. Thanks in advance, Don MacQueen macq@miguel.llnl.gov

What do I do? xterm can be found in $OPENWINHOME/demo, that is, if you received OpenWindows 2.0 pre-installed on the disk or if that demo subset was chosen during installation time. So to use xterm from the command line, you'll probably want to add $OPENWINHOME/demo to your PATH environment variable. You can add xterm your root menu by copying the version of the root menu in $OPENWINHOME/lib to your home directory % cd % cp $OPENWINHOME/lib/openwin-menu .openwin-menu and then adding something like the following to ".openwin-menu" : Terminals MENU "Xterm..."
