- The version that comes with OW3.0 is no longer in the demo area. But, as
- someone else pointed out, the default cut-n-paste are different. I prefer
- the new method of cutting and pasting. I hated using the L6 and L8 keys.
- I prefer the auto-clip-boarding that is done with xterm.
-
- Every now and then I do run into a problem of not being able to cut-n-paste
- between xterm and a different OW application. I think I have seen postings
- that fix this, but I have never incorporated them.
-
- I prefer how the scrollbar works. At least xterm works with tip and vi.
- The cmdtool and shelltool (w/ scrollbar turned on) really has problems. Not
- only that, but when you scroll back up, you have to scroll back down to see
- what you are entering as new text. With xterm you are moved back to the bottom
- of the scrolled list.
-
- Yep, I prefer xterm over shelltool any day.
