  14. Yesterday I posted a question regarding the Xconfig file.  I'd like
  15. to thank everyone who helped out. X now works.
  16.  
  17. My new problem is:
  18.  
  19. Sometimes within an xterm when I try to start a new xterm (i.e. on
  20. the command line) I get the message
  21.  
  22.    no available termcap entry
  23.  
  24. and xterm aborts.
  25.  
  26. However, if I seem to able to get many xterms going if I start them
  27. via the window manager i.e. using the popdown menu of twm.
  28.  
  29. What's going on ?  Anbody know ?
