- This is better but it is still not a OpenLook application. What I
- would like to give to my users is a terminal emulation with the
- following features:
-
- 1. OpenLook tool which obeys all OpenLook resources.
- 2. OpenLook scrollbars.
- 3. Support for OpenLook mouse button conventions.
- 4. Xterm key remapping functionality.
- 5. Xterm bolding and underlining (could be improved from
- standard xterm).
-
- If we had these thing we could get rid of the only non OpenLook
- tool which runs on our systems.
-
- When is Sun going to give us a decent terminal interface?
