Has anyone else received this update? Does anyone else have a version of aixterm that behaves in this way? The IBM support people here swear that I have the latest updates for X, and my aixterm definitely doesn't behave this way. Perhaps, when people inside IBM insist on defending the RT and AIX by talking about "updates" from some time ago, they could help us all by giving the official PTF number, so those of us on the outside know what to ask IBM support for. It would certainly shorten the weekly game of 40-questions... jw
