Amen. One of the reasons I prefer to emulate a VTxxx is that the Linux kiddies have a propensity, when they see 'xterm', to take license to turn on every form of bling they can get their fingers into, turning your terminal window into a Christmas tree. Telling the system you're on a vtxxx immunizes you from such nonsense. --lyndon
