[comp.windows.x] xterm questions

All,
	When I cut and paste, I get line breaks when there shouldn't be.  For
example, if the command is three lines long, I get three separate lines
instead of a continuous line.  Also, in olwm manager, can you empty the
xterm window, like you could do in suntools window - empty document option?
Help!

cmdtool (part of the MIT/XView distribution) doesn't have this
problem. It also allows you to select beyond the visible text.

again, cmdtool. You also get split-able scrollbars. You could split
the window in two, and run vi in one window, and still have the
scrollbar/past history in the other.
